A former Manchester United player may be poised for a return to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag finalizes his squad for the upcoming season.
Recent reports suggest that Manchester United might be looking to re-sign a past player. The new INEOS ownership, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has already made significant moves in the transfer market, including securing Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro.
Despite some recent setbacks in their transfer efforts, Manchester United has the chance to bring back a familiar face in what could be seen as a ‘dream’ deal.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano mentioned to GIVEMESPORT that Sofyan Amrabat could be a viable option for United if their pursuit of Manuel Ugarte does not succeed. Ugarte, currently with Paris Saint-Germain, has been a target for United, but the asking price has reportedly been prohibitive.
While alternatives like Youssouf Fofana have been considered, Amrabat is waiting to see what unfolds in the coming weeks, with a possible return to Manchester United on his mind.
TEAMtalk has described the potential move as a ‘dream’ for Amrabat, whereas FourFourTwo views him as a fallback option. If United were serious about Amrabat, they would have activated his £20 million release clause last season.
Should United decide to pursue Amrabat, they would need to restart negotiations. The interest in other players like Fofana and Sander Berge suggests that United might not revisit the Amrabat option. The 27-year-old’s current market value is around €22 million, and his contract with Fiorentina expires next summer.
