Man United loanee removed from Sevilla squad after brutal verdict from manager

The Tunisia international has immense talent and coaches at Old Trafford believe he can become a key player in the future.

But the 21-year-old is in need of regular minutes to continue his development.

However, that no longer appears to be the case at Sevilla after Flores revealed that he is out of the first-team picture for now.

Speaking this week, the Sevilla boss said: "After being with him, talking to him and having seen his first minutes in Girona, we are going to give him the necessary space to understand where he is, that he is at Sevilla and what it means.
