Amrabat eyes Manchester United return

Sofyan Amrabat, who was decent during his loan spell at Manchester United last season, reportedly dreams of making a permanent move back to Old Trafford.

With Erik ten Hag still on the hunt for a defensive midfielder, Amrabat has emerged as a key option. The Moroccan midfielder caught the eye of club legend Paul Scholes, who likened him to a “prime Gattuso” after his standout performance in United’s FA Cup victory over Manchester City.

While Frenkie de Jong remains on United’s radar, his reluctance to leave Barcelona could pave the way for Amrabat’s return. De Jong who was close to joining United in 2022 has expressed happiness in Spain making another attempt to sign him uncertain.

This situation leaves Ten Hag considering Amrabat as a strong alternative to bolster United’s midfield.
