Mejbri, 21, joined United's youth system in 2019 but struggled to break into the first team under Erik ten Hag.

He could not secure a regular starting spot, despite making 13 appearances for the Red Devils. 

Mejbri spent time on loan at Birmingham City and Sevilla to gain more playing time.

However, his departure from Old Trafford was seen as a mutual decision, given his limited opportunities and United's need to balance their squad.

In a farewell message on social media, Mejbri expressed his gratitude for the time he played with United, highlighting his debut, goal at Old Trafford, and Champions League appearances.
