Amrabat will be a 'huge signing' for Man United as delegation jets in - Agbonlahor

A midfield reinforcement will be one of the last pieces of the puzzle that Man United needs to address this season

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has claimed that the signing Sofyan Amarbat is a necessity ahead of next season.

With a potential transfer on the cards, Agbonlahor that believes that Man United should be doing everything in their power to sign the midfielder.

Football Insider exclusively revealed on Wednesday( 2 August) that Sofyan Amrabat’s agents have travelled to Manchester ahead of a proposed move to Man United.

A bid of around £30million could seal a deal for the player.

The 26-year-old previously worked under Ten Hag at FC Utrecht, making 50 appearances under the Dutchman, contributing to 11 goals, and with Amrabat into the final 12 months of his Fiorentina deal, a reunion could be on the cards.

“Amrabat would a huge signing for Man United,” he told Football Insider.

“He was at the World Cup and had an excellent spell for Morocco where he played excellently.

“I think United need more numbers in that position aswell, because I do like Casemiro but he’s not the same player he was for all those years at Real Madrid. He’s into his thirties now.

“He could pick up injuries easier, and then United are only left with Scott McTominay to replace him, so they definitely neeed another midfielder, as they already look strong elsewhere around the pitch.”
