The Tunisian player was considered a top talent when United signed him for their youth development program many years ago.

Manchester United youth star Hannibal Mejbri has signed for Burnley for an initial £5.4 million.AdvertisementAdvertisement

But now that he has failed to earn a first team spot, the 21-year-old will get a chance to kick start his career.

Per the Manchester Evening News, United agreed to the modest fee to sell Mejbri so he could find a good club.  It can rise to £9.4m including add-ons.

They have also inserted a sell-on clause of around 50 percent of any future transfer fee Burnley earn on Mejbri.

Moreover, United have even added a buy back clause into the agreement.
