Serie A midfielder pushing for Manchester United return ahead of likely summer exit

Former Manchester United loanee Sofyan Amrabat is eager to move to Old Trafford on a permanent deal, after spending last season on loan at the club from Serie A outfit Fiorentina.

That is the latest from the Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst, who claims the midfielder is currently not training with his Fiorentina team-mates amid his plans to leave the club.

Amrabat was absent when Fiorentina took on their youth team in a 5-2 win on Sunday.

We don’t know all of the options Amrabat has on the table, but the report suggests that the Morocco international is pushing for a return to United ahead of next season.

After all, that would be the best-case scenario for Amrabat. Wouldn’t it?

He started 17 games for United but played a key role in our FA Cup final win over Man City, when he made the starting eleven ahead of Casemiro.

Furthermore, Amrabat has known Ten Hag since their time together at FC Utrecht in 2017.

It is also understood that Amrabat is open to joining another Premier League club.

United must decide whether to buy Amrabat but that will be down to Ten Hag, Dan Ashworth, Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada.
