Tottenham and Leicester were also keen on Mejbri but the youngster has chosen to move to Old Trafford and will be part of Neil Ryan’s under-18 team when he receives international clearance from FIFA.

United have also announced new contracts for a number of academy players. Goalkeeper Paul Woolston and central defender Luca Ercolani, both members of the club’s under-23s, have penned new deals.
