The Manchester United Sofyan Amrabat transfer alternative that fits Erik ten Hag’s style

Manchester United could look to sign another midfielder if the club are able to raise transfer funds, amid links with moves for Firoentina’s Sofyan Amrabat while Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka has also been mentioned as a player of interest.
Manchester United’s success in cashing in on fringe players will determine whether Erik ten Hag explores further transfer targets in the final weeks of the window.

The Reds have demonstrated a no-nonsense approach to their recruitment, having identified clear areas for improvement. Mason Mount was first through the door to bolster United’s midfield options, while Andre Onana has replaced long-standing number one David De Gea. The impending arrival of Rasmus Hojlund will provide United with a much-needed number nine.

The trio have seen the club spend in the region of £178m but with the immediate futures of several players still in doubt, United could still raise enough funds to make another statement signing. Harry Maguire, Dean Henderson and Fred are among those that could bring in hefty fees, if a club matches United’s valuations.
