Mejbri is a client of agent Jorge Mendes, with the Portuguese man turning up to the club’s Carrington training ground to thrash out a deal with the club.
There is said to be a breakdown of trust between Mejbri and the French club, according to the 16-year-old’s father Lotfi, who was a former Tunisian footballer.
Manchester United could be set to continue their summer theme of recruiting young stars, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James, both 21, having already joined the club.
However, this time the fans seem to have no clue who Mejbri is.
Here is a selection of tweets from Manchester United fans following the report by The Daily Mail:
