Man Utd want young midfielder to join Everton

Manchester United have reportedly urged midfielder Hannibal Mejbri to join Everton on an initial loan deal.

Mejbri has made the decision to leave the Red Devils this month, but he is still undecided over his future.

Mejbri was initially close to joining Sevilla on loan with an option to buy before the Toffees entered the race.

The Merseyside outfit may have made a better proposal on the table, but Mejbri has yet to change his stance.

United continue to pressure him to join Everton, but Mejbri has a clear desire to move to Spain with Sevilla.

The La Liga outfit are optimistic that United will eventually bow to the demands of their graduate this month.

Mejbri got a decent amount of playing time earlier this season, but he has been a regular on the bench lately.

The emergence of Kobbie Mainoo has hampered his minutes and he is now keen on securing a new challenge.
