Manchester United stance on Tahith Chong transfer as Hannibal Mejbri delays contract extension

Manchester United could allow two of their academy youngsters to join Championship side Birmingham City before the deadline day of the summer transfer window. Erik ten Hag's side had already agreed to send Hannibal Mejbri on a season-long loan to St. Andrew's and reports suggest John Eustace's side are also interested in a deal to sign Tahith Chong.

The Manchester Evening News revealed earlier in the month that Hannibal had agreed to join Birmingham for the current season, while the club are open to selling Chong now that he has entered the final year of his contract.

The 22-year-old forward was included in Ten Hag 's pre-season tour squad but remains down the pecking order ahead of a proposed move to sign Antony from Ajax. It is understood that while Birmingham might be interested in a deal for Chong, there is nothing advanced at this stage regarding his departure.
