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.
