\nThe youth exodus at Manchester United shows no signs of stopping as another youngster has moved from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Mateo Mejia has joined Sevilla officially on a “free permanent deal” and United will have a 25% sell-on clause included, Fabrizio Romano reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mejia joins Hannibal as the second academy graduate to move to Sevilla, with another youngster leaving La Liga this season in Alvaro Fernandez.<\/p>\n

There has been a concerted effort from United this window to sell youngsters who would probably never make the grade here.<\/p>\n

Consequently, even supposedly highly-rated players like Hannibal have buy options included<\/a> in their loan moves, while Fernandez’s buy option at Benfica turns into an obligation after a set number of games.<\/p>\n

For Mejia, however, this brings an end to a move that happened with much anticipation.<\/p>\n

He was a menace in the youth circuits in Spain, known for scoring goals by the bucketloads.<\/p>\n

United were widely lauded for being able to land the clinical Spanish youth striker, much like Charlie McNeil in England.<\/p>\n

However, injury problems piled up during his time here and he could never get a consistently successful run in the team.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he couldn’t settle on one single position in the youth sides, playing all across the front line as the striker position was taken up by McNeil and Joe Hugill.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty much no-risk move by Sevilla as they get a youngster with an undoubtedly high ceiling at his lowest point.<\/p>\n

If this distressed asset rediscovers his mojo back in his home country then this deal will turn out to be a remarkable bargain.<\/p>\n

If not, then they don’t lose anything as they didn’t pay any transfer fee for him.<\/p>\n

For United, however, they will hope that Mejia is hugely successful at Sevilla so their sell-on clause nets them a sizeable fee in the long-term.
