RIGHT NOW Man United are expected to make their fifth signing tomorrow morning after reaching a verbal agreement today
Rasmus Hojlund’s transfer price has already been settled with Atlanata, and now United will hold definitive negotiations for their fourth prospective summer acquisition.
The representatives of the Moroccan international have arrived in Manchester, according to Football Insider. If various reports are to be believed, United and Amrabat have already reached an agreement, and all that is needed is for him to sign the dotted lines.
United are also expected to lodge a bid “immediately”. Fiorentina are asking around £30m for their prized asset, who they acquired for £17m from Hellas Verona in January 2020.
Given his technical and physical abilities, versatility, and ability to play in several midfield positions, the Moroccan midfield gladiator will be a strong addition to Erik ten Hag’s squad at that price.
Most importantly, having worked with the 26-year-old at FC Utrecht almost six years ago, the Dutch coach is well aware of his abilities
The former Ajax manager’s Old Trafford hiring method has been greatly influenced by his prior expertise and contacts. Before heading to Manchester, Lisandro Martinez, Antony, and Andre Onana had all flourished under him in Amsterdam.
While there’s little doubt Ten Hag will be looking forward to yet another reunion, United’s failure to sell their current talents could hinder the deal for Amrabat.
United has placed Fred available for purchase, and his permanent departure would undoubtedly allay United’s worries over Financial Fair Play.
Galatasaray, the team that has expressed the most interest in the Brazilian midfielder thus far this summer, is now considering signing Tanguy Ndombele, according to Fabrizio Romano, since the 32-year-old’s transfer deal “looks complicated” and is presently on “standby.”
