Manchester United Initiates Contract Talks with Rising Star
In a strategic move to secure their young talent, Manchester United is gearing up for contract negotiations with Hannibal Mejbri, the 20-year-old prodigious midfielder. As the current season draws to a close, Mejbri’s existing contract with the club is set to expire, though an option for extension until the summer of 2025 remains on the table.
Erik ten Hag, at the helm of Manchester United, has recently granted Mejbri valuable playing time, a testament to the midfielder’s growing prowess. According to reliable sources, including renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Mejbri’s current focus lies squarely on his on-field performance, placing contract discussions on the backburner until later this year.
