Man United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri claims that his Old Trafford teammates endorsed his loan move to Sevilla after experiencing the 'crazy' atmosphere during their crushing Europa League defeat last season

On-loan Manchester United midfielder Hannbal Mejbri has revealed the crucial role his Old Trafford teammates played in his move to Sevilla.

The 20-year-old completed a switch to the LaLiga outfit on Monday, with an option to make the deal permanent at a cost of £17.5million.

The Tunisia international, who found starts hard to come by under Erik ten Hag, attracted interest from other clubs but ultimately chose the Spanish side because of the atmosphere at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

United suffered a bruising 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals last season and that experience clearly stuck with a few of the roster, who talked up the raucous crowd.
