Man United 'formula found' for next transfer as 16-goal Rasmus Hojlund injury replacement considered

Manchester United have reportedly found a formula to sign Sofyan Amrabat on loan from Fiorentina for a second season.

Amrabat, 27, is not training with the Italian club. That is despite United opting against exercising an option to sign the midfielder for an initial £16.8 million.

However, the club have yet to rule out returning for the Morocco international, who is eager to seal a return and is trying to force through a transfer. Erik ten Hag had been due to discuss signing the player with new sporting director Dan Ashworth, technical director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada.

MEN Sport says: United could have saved £6.3 million by choosing not to make Ambrabat's loan permanent if these latest figures are accurate. After paying an £8.5 million loan fee last season, signing the player permanently next summer at the end of a second loan would take the total paid for the midfielder to £19 million rather than just north of £25 million.

United are said to be one of the clubs considering signing Maximilian Beier this summer. Tutto Juve claims Liverpool are also in a similar situation.

Hoffenheim reputedly want £34 million for the 21-year-old striker. However, Atletico Madrid and Juventus are reportedly unwilling to go above £25 million.

MEN Sport says: United may be in the market for another striker depending on the severity of Rasmus Hojlund's injury. The sight of Hannibal
