Manchester United send a third player out on loan with buy option included

The Red Devils have offloaded four players in the January transfer window so far, with three of them going out on loan.

Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has completed a loan move to LaLiga club Sevilla for the rest of the season.

In footage shared by Fabrizio Romano, Mejbri can be seen posing for photos while holding the No.46 Sevilla jersey. The journalist claims the loan deal is complete. He previously mentioned that it includes a buy option of €20 million.

However, as part of the agreement, Manchester United are expected to have a potential buy-back clause included.

At the time of writing, Sevilla and Manchester United have yet to formally announce Mejbri’s loan deal.

How has Mejbri done at Old Trafford?

The 20-year-old midfielder has made 10 appearances for Erik ten Hag’s side this season. He has scored one goal, but has only made the starting line-up four times.

He joined Manchester United in August 2019 from AS Monaco and spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan at Birmingham City in the Championship.

In total, Mejbri has played 13 games for Manchester United’s first team and scored one goal. The Tunisia international will hope for more opportunities at Sevilla, who will face Getafe in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday.

Who else has left the club this month?

Mejbri becomes the third player Manchester United have loaned out in January. The Red Devils previously sent Donny van de Beek to Eintracht Frankfurt and Jadon Sancho back to Borussia Dortmund in loan deals.

They also ended Sergio Reguilon’s loan spell this month, leaving the left-back free to return to parent club Tottenham.
