Hannibal is not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans and after an underwhelming loan spell at Sevilla last season, it doesn’t come as a surprise that he will be sold.

The 21-year-old joined United in 2019 and since then he has had loan spells with Birmingham City and Sevilla. He featured during pre-season but has not been involved in either of United’s opening two Premier League games.

Another midfielder likely to leave is Scott McTominay, who was already clear of Hannibal in the pecking order at United.
