Man United loanee Hannibal Mejbri is DROPPED by Sevilla - as boss Quique Sanchez Flores tells the youngster to 'apply himself' and says he needs 'time to learn'

Sevilla have made a point of dropping Manchester United loanee Hannibal Mejbri with a patronising statement, claiming the 'boy' needs to 'apply himself'.

Hannibal was not in the squad for the Copa del Rey quarter-final loss to Atletico Madrid on Thursday and will not feature against Osasuna on Sunday - or in any upcoming games until his issue is resolved.

The 21-year-old joined Sevilla on loan this January and has made one appearance off the bench for the LaLiga strugglers.

Manager Quique Sanchez Flores said: 'After being with him, talking to him and having seen his first minutes in Girona, we are going to give him the necessary space to understand where he is, that he is at Sevilla and what it means.
