Ruben Amorim is preparing to oversee a crucial summer rebuild at Manchester United following another underwhelming campaign.
With several players expected to leave Old Trafford in the coming months, the Portuguese boss will also be looking to explore creative financial boosts as he reshapes the squad.
Recent developments around United’s loan and sell-on arrangements have become increasingly important, with several former academy graduates thriving elsewhere.
Meanwhile, young talents like Harry Amass are drawing interest for summer loans, and others could be evaluated for reintegration or sold with profit-generating clauses.
Now, another forgotten name has brought good news to United’s financial books—this time thanks to a key promotion clause.
Former Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has helped Burnley secure an immediate return to the Premier League after their 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Turf Moor.
The 22-year-old, who spent six years at Old Trafford before being sold last summer, played the full 90 minutes and won the decisive penalty that sealed promotion.

Hannibal Mejbri has made 36 appearances this season under Scott Parker and played a valuable role in the club’s second-place finish, ensuring they cannot be overtaken with two games remaining.
According to the Manchester Evening News, United inserted a series of clever clauses in the £5.4m transfer that could ultimately rise to £9.4m.
A buy-back option and a matching rights clause give United the chance to re-sign the Tunisian international if another club makes a move for him.
However, the most immediate benefit comes from a six-figure bonus linked to Burnley’s promotion—believed to be part of the £4 million add-ons within the original deal.
Simon Stone confirmed the news via social media, stating that United would “benefit from six-figure sum” due to this clause.
In addition to that, a 50% sell-on clause—albeit one that decreases over time—means United could still profit handsomely if Burnley eventually sells the player elsewhere.
Whether Hannibal Mejbri returns to Old Trafford or not, United’s decision to structure a deal with multiple safety nets may prove vital as Amorim eyes fresh additions ahead of the 2025/26 season.
