Manchester United have announced they've reached an agreement to sign Monaco wonderkid Hannibal Mejbri.

United have pipped a host of clubs to the signature of the 16-year-old, who will complete the switch when he turns 17 in January.

Mejbri, a France youth international, is set to move to Old Trafford subject to FIFA approval.

Super agent Jorge Mendes was reportedly at United's training ground last month to agree a deal with United, worth around £9m.

United are also waiting on international clearance for 16-year-old Dutch defender Bjorn Hardley.

Fellow new recruits Johan Gyadagno, Mateo Mejia and Dillon Hoogewerf have been cleared to play.
