Manchester United's 10 million geniuses are dissatisfied with playing on the bench and are determined to leave, or transfer to the Soviet Super League! Warm-up matches have been abandoned

Manchester United Academy midfielder Hannibal · Mejbri admits he is tired of the lack of regular game time at the club. His departure this summer is almost a certainty, with both Celtic and Glasgow Rovers both rumoured to be looking to bring him in, with the Reds priced at £7 million.

The 21-year-old Tunisia international spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Birmingham City for the Championship and returned to Manchester United last season but made just 10 appearances in the halfway and was loaned out to Sevilla in La Liga in the winter window. However, he did not develop well at his new club, playing just six games, and Sevilla dropped the option to buy him for £14 million plus a £3 million surcharge.

In the summer warm-up matches, Hannibal made a number of appearances, but his performance was mediocre, and the statistics showed that against Rosenborg, he only completed 7 passes in 45 minutes! In the four games in which he participated, he had more yellow cards than chances created, with the former being one and the latter being zero. Against Liverpool, Ten Hag didn't give him another minute of playing time, and even youngsters Maxi · Oyedler and James · Scanlong were given the chance to play.

When Manchester United spent €10 million to sign 16-year-old Hannibal from Monaco, they were interested in his creativity, but now Hannibal's most prominent feature has become aggression and his passing level has dropped. Now 21 years old, it's time for the Tunisia international to leave the team.

Hannibal made it clear: "I felt good at Manchester United last season, but after the goal against Brighton I felt I should have more playing time. As a player you always want more but don't get it, so I decided to go on loan to Sevilla. I've been through a lot there. Although the results were not good, I feel that I have learned a lot and I have become more mature. I can feel that in the players at Manchester United now."

Hannibal admits he's tired of being a substitute: "I wouldn't say I'm seen as an old player because I'm only 21 years old, but they don't see me as a young player either. I felt that my teammates respected me. As a player, I just want to play and show myself, and every player says that. I'm tired of sitting on the bench and watching people play. I have a close relationship with Anthony Elanga and Teden · Mengi and I'm proud of them when they leave the club and succeed as Premier League players. I need to play every week like them, but it's harder to do that at Manchester United."

United are looking to bolster their midfield this summer and even without new signings, it will be difficult for Hannibal to feature regularly, and if he doesn't want to sit on the bench for the new season, a move to another team is a logical option.

Even the 27-year-old Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay, who is known as the soul of Manchester United, may leave the team because of his main position. Premier League side Fulham were interested in bringing in and their £20million offer was rejected by the Red Devils. However, once the 'farmer' gives a little more, and the fixed transfer fee reaches £25 million, the INEOS management team will agree to sell.

The 32-year-old Denmark midfielder Eriksen is also a midfielder that United intend to purge and a deal could be done if the club offers a £5 million price.

In contrast, Casemiro, a 32-year-old Brazil with a weekly salary of £350,000 and Manchester United's £40 million mark, has reduced the likelihood of leaving this summer, and Ten Hag may have to use him for another year and try to clean up next year.
