Manchester United will look to bolster their midfield after falling to overcome Manchester City in the FA Cup final. It was needed anyway, but the Wembley showpiece clearly highlighted all the shortcomings of Erik Ten Hag’s side.Sofyan Amrabat, who shined for Morocco at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, is supposedly on his way out from Fiorentina to the club that finished third in the Premier League. Barcelona has reportedly recently joined the competition to recruit the Moroccan midfielder, though. Even during the last transfer window, the La Liga team attempted to sign him, but they were unsuccessful.##NAJAVA_MECA_7299436##Also, Amrabat will be a cheaper option to other midfield targets like Ruben Neves or Joshua Kimmich. Also, his contract with Fiorentina expires in 2024. Barcelona made a loan offer with an option to buy in January, which was rejected by the UEFA Europa Conference League finalists. According to Spanish newspaper Sport, the Red Devils are ‘seriously trying’ to sign the Morocco international and have ‘intensified contact’ with his representatives on Saturday night.Amrabat fights with the national team and with his club pic.twitter.com/BHeANraA2n— #FreeZiyech ⵣ🇲🇦🥑 (@ZiyachFans) June 4, 2023 Erik Ten Hag has already managed Amrabat previously and this could turn the tide towards United’s favour. The former Ajax gaffer was in charge of Utrecht when Amrabat came through their academy – and made a lasting impact on the African’s career.”That was so important for me. It was my second year in the first team. He made a plan for me. He asked me about my strong points and what I wanted to improve. From the first day, he was busy with me. Not only me, all the players. A lot of coaches are busy in general with the team but he put a lot of time into individual work because he knew if the individual was better the team would be better. After every game, he would take me through a video and explain everything to me. When I look back, I know it was so important for my career. I learned such a lot from him.”
