Transfer expert says Man United have reached agreement for midfield transfer with Medical today

In the last week of the summer transfer window, Hannibal Mejbri is expected to leave Manchester United, and he will have a medical at Burnley on Monday.

The Tunisian midfielder is expected to quit United permanently after they finally came to an agreement. United had been willing to let him go this summer.

Manchester World is aware that Hannibal will sign a one-year loan with Burnley, with the Championship team obligated to purchase him permanently the following season.

The arrangement will contain a sizable sell-on clause from United, along with the possibility of a buyback option down the road. Fabrizio Romano gave an update on the deal on social media on Monday.

“Burnley have reached verbal agreement to sign Hannibal Mejbri from Manchester United,” he posted. “Medical tests taking place today as club to club deal done on loan with mandatory buy clause. Almost there.”

Burnley are understood to be impressed by Hannibal’s experience, with the youngster having already spent a season on loan in the Championship with Birmingham City, while he has also represented the Tunisian national side on 27 occasions.

Hannibal spent the second-half of last season on loan with La Liga side Sevilla, who opted against triggering an option to sign him permanently for €20million this summer. That deal also included a fixed buy-back clause and a sell-on clause, two clauses which could also be included in any deal with Burnley.

United agreed to sign Hannibal from Monaco five years ago in a deal worth €10million, beating both Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City to his signature.

He has made 13 first-team appearances during his time at the club, including an impressive performance against Burnley at Turf Moor last season
