Sevilla sports chief Victor Orta plans to return to the Northwest for a new signing.

Former Leeds chief Orta is eyeing Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri, says Estadio Deportivo.

United are willing to send Mejbri away on-loan in January to maintain his development.

And Orta is keen to bring the Tunisia international to LaLiga for the second-half of the season.

Before any deal, United will attempt to secure Mejbri to a new contract.
