Sources: Man Utd ready to move for Amrabat

Manchester United are ready to move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat but only if they can raise significant funds through departures, sources have told ESPN.

United have spent more than £100 million ($128.6m) to bring in Mason Mount and André Onana already this summer and manager Erik ten Hag has been assured there is money available to sign a striker — likely to be Atalanta‘s Rasmus Höjlund — before the deadline.

There remains a chance that, after securing Hojlund, United could target a central midfielder as a fourth summer signing with Amrabat high up on Ten Hag’s wanted list.

But the Dutchman has been told a move for the Morocco international, one of the best players at last year’s World Cup in Qatar, will only be possible if a number of fringe players leave.
