Hannibal has been linked with both Glasgow giants and the midfielder is set to leave Old Trafford
Hannibal Mejbri will only be allowed to leave Manchester United this summer if a permanent offer arrives.
Now, though, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has pivoted back to news from the south west of the city as he confirmed there was firm interest earlier in the window. But he also insists United's stance on an exit could make it tricky for Philippe Clement to negotiate a deal - since they want to sell outright rather than loan him out. Romano told GiveMeSport: “Yes, there was an interest . It’s true. But Man United are only interested in permanent transfer.
If United are determined to sell rather than loan then a move to Celtic, who have more cash to burn on signings this window, looks more likely. Especially if Matt O'Riley ends up leaving, freeing up both significant money and a creative void in midfield. United paid close to £9m to sign Hannibal from Monaco in 2019 and would likely to want to break even to consider selling him.
