Any move for Sofyan Amrabat will depend on how Manchester United sell players
According to the Independent, Manchester United have made initial contact to sign Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat but any move will depend on the sales.
Amrabat, who impressed for Morocco in the 2022 World Cup, is one of the midfield targets for the Red Devils this summer.
However, Erik ten Hag is currently focusing on signing a goalkeeper and then a striker before thinking about the midfield.
United are closing in on a deal to sign Andre Onana. The former Ajax keeper could directly slot in as the number one in the team after the departure of David de Gea.
In the centre-forward department, Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund remains high on the shortlist. Let’s see what happens there because this team could do with a clinical number nine signed in this transfer window.
It is revealed that a move for Amrabat could be funded by what United earn from the potential departure of Scott McTominay. West Ham United could make a move for the Scotsman, but they are waiting on Arsenal to complete the Declan Rice deal first.
There are a lot of things in the air at the moment. The pre-season has begun and we are now less than a month away from the start of the new season.
United have only made one signing so far – Mason Mount. More needs to be done quickly to help ten Hag build a squad capable of doing better than last season.

Getting a combative midfielder like Amrabat would really help, especially if he is replacing McTominay in the squad. The Moroccan is defensively sound, has a good passing range and is physically robust.
He sounds like an ideal foil for other technical midfielders United have. Let’s hope the club finds the money to sign him from Fiorentina.
