Manchester United are interested in signing 26-year-old Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat from Serie A club Fiorentina.
According to reputed French journalist Santi Aouna, Manchester United have submitted a verbal offer to sign 26-year-old Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
Amrabat has been linked with a move to the Premier League since the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The 26-year-old midfielder had an impressive campaign with his country Morocco, and he will be hoping to secure a big move away from the Italian club this summer.
The opportunity to play for Manchester United will be an attractive proposition for the 26-year-old midfielder. But it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are ready to submit an official proposal for him. So far, they have only made a verbal offer to land the player.
Amrabat impressed everyone with his aggressive and powerful displays in the World Cup, and he could prove to be the ideal fit for Manchester United in the Premier League. The 26-year-old certainly has the technical attributes and physicality to thrive in English football and he could be a key player for the Red Devils.

◉ MU have made an initial verbal offer to Sofyan Amrabat's agent. Al-Ahli have also made an offer (€15M).
◉ But for now, he is not interested and is still dreaming of Liga.
◉ He prefers to stay at Fiorentina if he doesn't get a good club. Many big clubs… pic.twitter.com/stDIcU5Aej

The Moroccan international could form a quality partnership with Casemiro at the heart of Manchester United’s midfield, and he could prove to be an upgrade on the likes of Fred. And recent reports have claimed that the Red Devils lead the race to secure Amrabat’s services.
Manchester United will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they will look to do well across multiple fronts. Signing a quality midfielder like Amrabat will certainly improve them. They have already added creativity and goals to their midfield with the signing of Mason Mount. And someone like Amrabat would complete their midfield unit.
Manchester United will probably hope to challenge for the league title next season, and they need better players in order to match up with Manchester City. Someone like Amrabat could make a huge difference for them and help them compete at the highest level next season.

It would be a major step up in his career as well. The Moroccan would get to compete for the major trophies with Manchester United. The Red Devils won a domestic trophy last season, and they will aim for major silverware next season.
