Revealed: How Man United got a six -digit sum from the Burnley promotion at the Premier League

Burnley will return to the Premier League next season after the 2-1 victory on Monday against Sheffield United obtained a place of automatic promotion for the team of Scott Parker.

The Clarets have rebounded the relegation of last season since the elite – and the departure of Vincent Kompany in Bayern Munich – with a campaign in which they have only lost twice in the League. Burnley’s victory over the Blades also obtained the return of Leeds United in the Premier League.

But Monday celebrations were not limited to Turf Moor and Elland Road as Man United – a large rival from Burnley and Leeds – also took advantage of it in the middle of the promotion party, according to information.

The promotion of Burnley sparked a clause in the agreement which saw Hannibal Mejbri join the Clarets of Man United last summer with the BBC Sport pointing that a The “sum of six digits” will now be added to the transfer costs.

The 22 -year -old man was signed for initial transfer fees of 5.4 million pounds sterling, up to 9.4 million pounds sterling with additional modules such as the promotion clause. With Burnley always one of the favorites to climb, it was an intelligent decision by Man United which now reports dividends.

But everything has not been navigation for the Burnley star this season. In February, he accused Milutin Osmajic of Preston of having made a racist comment during the 0-0 draw of clubs in the championship.

Only two weeks after this incident, Parker decided to rest Hannibal for the fifth round link of the FA Cup against Preston, explaining that he was doing it for his own advantage of the player, but admitted that he had reduced the choice because Hannibal is “ vital importance ” for what Burnley does.

The Tunisian, who scored against Norwich last week to put Burnley on the verge of promotion, has 36 appearances in all competitions and won a meeting with the team of Ruben Amorim.

And there is even a chance that he can queue for the Red Devils next year because his transfer to Burnley included a buyout clause in the agreement.

Man United wants to strengthen its ranks after a disappointing campaign in the Premier League who sees the club sitting in 14th place with only five games to play.

They plan to conclude 92.5 million pounds sterling for Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap as quickly as possible this summer.

Man United intends to trigger the liberation clauses of 62.5 million pounds sterling for Cunha at Wolves and 30 million pounds sterling for Delap in Ipswich to sign the two players once the transfer window is open on June 1.
