Man United's stance over Hannibal Mejbri amid links to Rangers

Manchester United's stance over Rangers transfer target Hannibal Mejbri has been detailed by a French media outlet.

It was revealed yesterday that the Tunisia international is a recruitment target for Philippe Clement this summer as he aims to reshape his squad.

He's expected to lose Todd Cantwell, Sam Lammers and Connor Goldson, while captain James Tavernier, and Scott Wright could also follow suit through the Ibrox exit door. 

It was said that the Scottish Premiership club were in 'advanced talks' to sign Mejbri, 21.

However, according to Le Parisien, this is not the case.

They claim that the English Premier League giants would prefer to offload the attacking midfielder on a permanent deal.

Much like Clement, Erik ten Hag is looking to clear some of his decks in the first team at United.

Mejbri played in the recent friendly match between the two teams at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.

He's into the final year of his deal and could leave for nothing next summer.

Meanwhile, Connor Goldson has been spotted at an airport as he heads for the Rangers departure gate.

The centre-back is set to leave the Ibrox club after six years spent in Glasgow.

Philippe Clement will allow the 31-year-old to leave for a new challenge, as the Belgian frees up some much-needed wages to redistribute in his transfer budget.

Goldson missed Wednesday night's friendly against Birmingham City due to a 'concrete offer' being submitted.

Now, a Rangers fan has taken to social media to share a photo of Goldson at Glasgow International Airport this morning, as he looks to move on to pastures new.

The Englishman was spotted with five suitcases as he approached the check-in desks at the main entrance of the terminal building.

Aris Limassol of Cyprus are the team that have been strongly linked with the Scottish Premiership stalwart.
