Man Utd seek quick fix with a new midfield target as Ten Hag is alerted to crucial deadline

According to the latest reports, Manchester United and Fiorentina hope to find a solution regarding Sofyan Amrabat by Monday.
Erik ten Hag has already signed deals for Mason Mount and Andre Onana but there is still work to be done.

Signing a striker remains a priority for Man Utd this summer but the club are also keen to bolster their midfield department. Fiorentina’s Amrabat has been an interesting player for several clubs and Man Utd have been at the forefront of finding his signature.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Man Utd and Fiorentina want Amrabat’s future settled by Monday when the player is expected to return to Florence.
While Ten Hag remain interested in the midfielder, Man Utd are yet to make an official offer for the 26-year-old.

“He [Amrabat] is very attached to the team and I too speak English and almost every day,” Fiorentina chief executive Joe Barone told Sky Sports Italy.
“Nothing official has happened yet, I told him to come here focused because he’s a Fiorentina player. “He has to have his head here and be ready for the start of the league. If something comes up, we will assess it. We already have a very strong midfield department.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a deal for Amrabat could hinge on Fred leaving the club this summer.
The Brazilian midfielder’s contract runs until 2024 and there is a good chance he will leave this summer as several teams are reportedly interested.

“Fred is one of the players who should leave and he has interest from Saudi clubs, Galatasaray and other Premier League clubs,” Romano explained.

“Erik ten Hag knows Amrabat is on the market and you could keep an eye on him, but that’s not a priority and you’re also aware that Fiorentina are difficult to negotiate with so he won’t come cheap.” He is one of many names on United’s roster for the job.”
