Burnley have completed the signing of Hannibal Mejbri from Manchester United on a four-year contract.

BBC Sport understands the Championship club has paid a £5.4m fee for the Tunisia international, potentially rising to £9.4m, with additional sell-on and buy-back clauses.

The 21-year-old midfielder joined the Red Devils in 2019 but has remained on the periphery of the first-team squad during his stay at Old Trafford.

Hannibal scored one goal in 13 appearances for United and also had spells on loan with Birmingham City and Sevilla.

“I’m very excited," he told the club website.
