Man United closing in on Amrabat deal

Having secured, all but officially, the transfer of striker Rasmus Hojlund, Manchester United return their attention to their midfield.

Their main target is Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who impressed on the world stage with Morocco as they reached the semifinals of the Qatar World Cup.

Although United are willing to offer £30 million for the 26-year-old, his arrival hinges on the sales of either Fred or Donny van de Beek. Erik ten Hag is very keen on the player, but the Danish striker has eaten through most of the manager's budget, meaning sales are required to raise the necessary funds.

Galatasaray are reportedly keen on the Brazilian, and as for Van de Beek, the Red Devils have entered talks with La Liga side Real Sociedad, who could secure the Dutchman's services for a reported £25 million.  United are expected to launch their opening bid once one or either of the sales goes through.
