MANCHESTER UNITED are set to offer midfielder Hannibal Mejbri a new contract to fight off rival interest from Sevilla, a report claims.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old has impressed Erik ten Hag this term and the boss is ready to extend the wonderkid's stay at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mejbri returned to Man Utd in the summer from Birmingham City and has taken advantage of both Jadon Sancho and Antony being unavailable.<\/p>\n
His hard work has paid off as Ten Hag's side are lined up to offer a bumper new contract, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.<\/p>\n
But La Liga giants Sevilla have been tipped off to have interest in the Tunisian international.<\/p>\n
Romano tweeted: "Manchester United plan to offer Hannibal new contract as talks could start soon #MUFC Current deal expires June 2024 + option 2025. <\/p>\n
"Hannibal focused on games now, open to discuss later this year. Understand Sevilla wanted him in July and keep tracking him."<\/p>\n Sevilla has had a tricky start to the season winning two out of their first six La Liga games – lying 12th in the table swooping in only nine points.<\/p>\n But Mejbri could be the man to change that if the Spanish side chooses to fight for him in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n The Man Utd starlet has been impressive this season which explains why the Dutch boss is desperate to renew his contract before anyone can snatch him.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Sky Sports revealed he covered 12.9 kilometres during the 1-0 win over Burnley, more than any\u00a0Man Utd\u00a0player since Ten Hag took over at the beginning of last season.<\/p>\n The midfielder also boasts the most pressure per 90 minutes of any Premier League player this season.<\/p>\n He is averaging a sensational 100 pressures, 21.3 more than the next best in\u00a0Rasmus Hojlund.<\/p>\n Hannibal spent last season on loan at Birmingham where he played 41 times, scoring one goal and assisting another six.<\/p>\n Mejbri has made three appearances so far this season for United scoring the only goal in the Red Devils' 3-1 defeat to Brighton.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Tunisia\u00a0international has also continued to be a regular for his country too, and featured at last year's World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n<\/picture>I'VE GOT A TEXT! <\/span><\/p>\n
