Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
Scottish giants Rangers are reportedly keen on securing his signature, but a report from Football Insider claims that a move to the Scottish club is now in jeopardy after they failed to qualify for the Champions League group stages.
The 21-year-old midfielder wants Champions League football in order to move to Scotland and it will be interesting to see if the Scottish club can now convince the player to join them without Champions League football. Arch-rivals Celtic are keen on signing the Tunisia international as well. Furthermore, clubs in the Championship are keeping tabs on his situation.
The 21-year-old is highly rated across England and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and Manchester United will not be able to provide him with that opportunity.
Hannibal Mejbri to end up at Rangers?
Despite breaking into the Manchester United first team squad 2021, he has managed just 13 appearances for the Red Devils. He needs to leave the club in order to play more often. A move to Rangers will not be a bad option for the player, but he will probably hope to join a club in the Champions League. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
Meanwhile, Rangers need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park and the 21-year-old has the physical and technical attributes to succeed in Scottish football. He was on loan at Spanish club Sevilla during the second half half of last season. There is no doubt that he has the quality to compete at the highest level.
The 21-year-old needs to focus on his football and development right now. Even if he has to leave Manchester United, he should look to seek game time assurances at this stage of his career. He will have plenty of opportunities to join a big club in the near future if he manages to fulfil his tremendous potential.
