Manchester United have identified Sofyan Amrabat as a player of interest throughout the summer. The Reds now have considerable depth in the midfield – with the addition of Mason Mount to last season’s first-choice trio of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes.
Fitness concerns and overall ability, however, are forcing Erik ten Hag to consider the need for additional reinforcements – specifically in defensive midfield.
