Turkish giants pushing to sign Man Utd graduate

Turkish giants Besiktas are pushing to sign Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri on loan.

The Turkish transfer window does not close until September 15, and Besiktas are eager to sign a new midfielder by then.

They have identified Mejbri as their top target, and Fanatik claim that they have proposed a dry loan offer to United.

The Red Devils are reluctant to lose his services, but the final decision could depend on manager Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag has been quite open over the futures of young talents, and he has already parted ways with plenty of them.

If the Dutchman feels Mejbri won't get sufficient game time, he could sanction his loan move to Besiktas.

Besiktas have only proposed a temporary deal for the midfielder, but they are open to signing him permanently.

Mejbri was on the radar of Borussia Dortmund earlier in the summer, but nothing materialised in the end.

He has not played a single minute in the ongoing campaign, and could be tempted to secure a loan exit.
