With a lot of work to be done at Manchester United, Erik ten Hag is having to really decide where he wants the money invested in his squad.
The first signing has already been made, with Mason Mount travelling up the M6 to swap London for the north-west, but there are more players on the Dutchman’s radar.
Gazzetta dello Sport explain Sofyan Amrabat is one of them, as he would represent a more defensive addition to the squad compared to the England international.
A new goalkeeper is also expected, while there is a glaring gap in the starting line-up for a natural number nine, and all this costs money.
This is why Manchester United need to prioritise their spending, as their budget is not limitless, and Amrabat could represent a bargain for the experience he will bring.
Fiorentina, where he is currently contracted, know that selling their star is needed, but they will not ‘undersell’ him either.
That’s why an offer of around €30m ‘is expected’ in order to convince them of letting him go, but that has yet to arrive, from anyone.
Manchester United have ‘already reached an agreement with his entourage’, but have not made an offer, likely having focused their efforts on Mount, while Atlético Madrid remain interested, just ‘in the background’.
However, a source has told Sport Witness that the reported claims above are ‘not true’, and the midfielder hasn’t reached an agreement to join Old Trafford as things stand.
