#2 United favourites to sign teenage sensation Hannibal Mejbi

Solskjaer has set his eye on French Wonderkid Hannibal Mejbi

16-year-old Hannibal Mejbi has attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe with his performances with France under 16 side last season. The Frenchman even scored his first goal against Ivory Coast in April of this year. The teenage midfielder is a sensational talent and it now looks like he could be Solskjaer's next acquisition this summer.

Sky Sports reports that Manchester United are confident of signing the 16-year-old from Monaco, and are the favourites to strike a deal with the Ligue 1 side for the services of Mejbi. The Frenchman is yet to play for Monaco's senior team but has already caught the eye in the youth set up.

United's transfer policy this summer has shown an affinity for young players, with the Red Devils already securing the services of Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, both 21 years old. Solskjaer wants United's rebuilding to start with a strong base of talented young players and Hannibal Mejbi certainly fits the bill.
