I gave him the chance to showcase His talent against Liverpool but He failed woefully,I don’t think I have plans for Him this season because the board wants Him out already and there’s nothing I can do about that”, Erik Ten Hag says Man united star who started Liverpool game yesterday is set to depart Old Trafford in the coming days due to His poor performance in training

Manchester United have completed their pre-season tour, and now the focus shifts to finalizing decisions as the new season approaches. The pre-season period has been invaluable for Manchester United’s young players, offering them essential playing time to aid their development.

In a match against Liverpool, even though the team faced defeat, several young players were given the opportunity to play. These players included Harry Amass, Toby Collyer, Rhys Bennett, Will Fish, Ethan Wheatley, Sam Murray, Maxi Oyedele, Sam Mather, and James Scanlon, none of whom have made a Premier League start.

One notable absence in terms of playing time was Hannibal Mejbri. Throughout the pre-season, he has been relegated to a substitute role, reflecting his current standing within the squad. He made appearances off the bench in matches against Rangers, Arsenal, and Real Betis. While his performance showed some improvement against Rangers, his overall contributions in the United States were minimal, suggesting that manager Erik ten Hag has seen enough.

Against Liverpool, ten Hag opted not to bring Hannibal onto the pitch, despite making several substitutions, instead choosing to see what the younger members of the squad could offer. In the four games Hannibal played, he received one yellow card and did not create any chances, a stark contrast to his earlier days in the United academy where his creativity and passing were his standout attributes. Recently, however, he has become more known for his combative playing style rather than his on-ball influence, which no longer aligns with the team’s current needs. This shift in his playing style has contributed to his likely departure from the club.

With key players such as Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, Alejandro Garnacho, and Joshua Zirkzee returning to Carrington, the matchday squads for the Community Shield and the Premier League opener are expected to see tough competition. Hannibal, who has one year left on his contract, may struggle to even make the bench and, if included, would likely only serve to fill out the squad.

Rumors have linked Hannibal with a move to Scottish side Rangers, with Fabrizio Romano confirming the Scottish club’s genuine interest. It seems highly probable that Hannibal will be sold, potentially as late as the deadline day. His pre-season efforts, while determined, were always facing long odds to change the trajectory of his future with Manchester United.

As the club gears up for the new season, Erik ten Hag appears to have made his decision regarding Hannibal Mejbri, signaling a likely end to his tenure with Manchester United.
