Erik ten Hag is open to more signings at Man United and worked with the Moroccan international in the Netherlands.
Sofyan Amrabat has been left out of the Fiorentina squad to face Newcastle United and Nice this weekєɴԀ as speculation regarding his future intensifies.
The 26-year-old looks set to leave La Viola this summer amid interest across Europe, following a brilliant World Cup campaign with Morocco and an impressive season at club level. Barcelona and Liverpool have previously been interested, butManchester Unitedhave emerged as front-runners in recent weeks.
ManagerErik ten Hag is open to making further additionsonce they finalise the £72million signing ofRasmus Hojlundfrom Atalanta. Midfield remains a point of interest for the Dutchman, who could yet seeFredandDonny van de Beekleave.
And any pursuit of Amrabat has been boosted by his absence from the squad that will head to St. James’ Park this weekєɴԀ. The decision looks to be transfer related, given the fact he played against Grosseto on Tuesday.
United’s interest in the Moroccan is known, however any approach was initially depєɴԀent on the departure ofScott McTominay. The Scot now looks set to stay amidfears that Kobbie Mainoo’s ιɴjυɾу could keep him out for two months.
Speaking to Italian news agency ANSA last week,Amrabat remained coy on his future: “I don’t know if I’m leaving… maybe I can stay here at Fiorentina.” He added: “I don’t know, I could remain.”
The combative midfielder played under Ten Hag during the pair’s time at FC Utrecht in the Netherlands, and has made no secret of his fond memories under the Dutchman.
Fiorentina will likely demand around €30m (£25.9m) for their man, who has less than 12 months left on his Ԁєɑł in Italy.
