Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri is set to complete his move to Championship side Burnley, according to Fabrizio Romano.
United are expected to be busy in the final days of the window with signings and departures as they look to finalize Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Scott McTominay could be on his way to Napoli after the Italian side agreed a fee with United, but he is not the only midfielder set to leave the club.

United are still looking to boost their midfield options and are close to agreeing a deal with Paris Saint German for Manuel Ugarte.
However, Romano has reported that Hannibal is ready to leave the club and complete a switch to Burnley.
The move was expected to be a loan with an obligation to buy, but Romano has now claimed it is a permanent deal.
He took X.com and said:
“Hannibal Mejbri completes medical at Burnley today and joins on permanent deal instead of loan with obligation to buy. Man United asked for a switch as the funds will be received earlier and the deal will also include a sell-on clause . Here we go!”

The Tunisian international joined United’s youth set-up from French side Monaco in 2019 and made 13 appearances for the club, scoring one goal.
Hannibal has had several loan spells during his time with the Red Devils and spent the 2022/2023 season with Birmingham City and spent the second half of last season with La Liga side Sevilla.
His move to La Liga did not go as planned and Hannibal made just six appearances, while Sevilla did not accept his €20m buyout option.
The Tunisian becomes the latest in a long line of Old Trafford departures this summer that includes Mason Greenwood, Raphael Varane, Donny van de Beek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
A move to Burnley could see the midfielder face his former club next season with the Clarets one of the favorites to win promotion to the Championship.
