Manchester United agree deal for Sofyan Amrabat

Manchester United have agreed a deal with Fiorentina for midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

The Manchester Evening News understands that United have agreed a €10million loan fee for Amrabat, with an option to buy, with the player now set for a season-long loan move to Old Trafford.

United have agreed to meet the Italian club's demands on transfer deadline day with Erik ten Hag keen on bringing the Moroccan international to the club.

Earlier in the week, United backed out of a move for Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella in part over the hefty loan fees involved, with Sergio Reguilon a more affordable option.

It was revealed earlier in the day that a private jet has been booked from Florence to arrive at Manchester Airport on Friday afternoon amid United's interest in the Fiorentina midfielder.

A boutique jet is scheduled to touch down at Manchester Airport on Friday afternoon, and United did not deny the possibility of having arranged the private jet.

Amrabat was Ten Hag's preferred target to bolster their midfield before tonight's 11pm deadline. Ten Hag coached the Morocco international at FC Utrecht in the mid-2010s.
