Man Utd player ‘involved in ugly training ground bust-up’ could leave Erik ten Hag’s squad

Manchester United youngster Hannibal Mejbri could leave the squad again this summer in search of regular first-team football.

Mejbri, 21, has struggled to work his way into Erik ten Hag’s plans since the Dutchman’s arrival at Old Trafford in the summer of 2022.

The Tunisia international was reportedly involved in an ugly training ground bust-up with former teammate Alex Telles during Ralf Rangnick’s time in charge of United, shortly before Ten Hag was appointed as manager.

According to talkSPORT, Mejbri and Telles almost came to blows in a training ground disagreement in the wake of a damaging 4-0 defeat to Brighton – an incident that reportedly left their United teammates ‘stunned’.

The report claims Ten Hag is keen to move on several players this summer, with Mejbri potentially among those deemed surplus to requirements along with Scott McTominay.

The Tunisian midfielder currently has one year remaining on his current deal at Old Trafford, with his contract extended in January before his move to Sevilla.

United are currently on tour in the United States and continue their pre-season preparations with a game against Premier League rivals Arsenal in the early hours of Sunday morning in Los Angeles.

They will then face Real Betis and Liverpool in further warm-up games before taking on rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 10, ahead of their opening Premier League game against Fulham on August 16.
