Erik ten Hag is adamant about adding another midfielder to his ranks before the window closes, with Sofyan Amrabat seemingly one name on the shortlist.
Manchester United are yet to make a formal approach for the Moroccan international and it was believed in recent weeks that their hopes of signing Amrabat could be contested by Liverpool, who are also actively scouring the market for additions in the middle of the park.
However, Fabrizio Romano has now put these rumours to bed regarding Liverpool’s pursuit of Amrabat.
He said in the latest instalment of the Debrief podcast: “The only thing that happened with Liverpool was last week, before signing Endo, Liverpool had contact with the camp of Sofyan Amrabat to ask for information so how the player would cost on Fiorentina’s side, terms of the contract, so they discussed all the conditions of the deal and it was a good conversation but then internally, Liverpool decided to invest that money on Endo for multiple reasons.
“So I think, from what I am hearing at the moment, they are not in contact with Fiorentina or on the player’s side anymore so I don’t see Amrabat joining Liverpool. That was a possibility considered for 24 hours but Amrabat remains on Manchester United’s list, he’s always been appreciated by Atletico Madrid, we have to mention that because he has always been on their list but he is seen as too expensive for them.
“I still think he has a very good chance to leave the club in the final days of the window – but not for Liverpool.”
United must sell to add signings
For United, their action in the remaining weeks of the transfer window is now almost entirely dependent on outgoings. Ten Hag was granted his priority targets in the form of Mason Mount (£55 million), Andre Onana (£47.2m) and Rasmus Hojlund (£64 million), so funds must be recuperated by sales in order to oversee any new arrivals by the September deadline.
Donny van de Beek is expected to leave, which was the reason he was omitted from the Red Devils’ trip to face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Decent player but not too quick. Will do a good job for United as they love a nice bit of slow,, generally meandering play.
I’ll miss Marson so much…
Letting Mason greenwood leave for good is a bad decision, he will be missed,he is more perfect than Antony
