Manchester United are undergoing a rebuild under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag, with a host of areas identified in order to fortify Old Trafford and return the club to its former glory.

With the likes of Cody Gakpo and Joao Felix being heavily touted on the offensive front, the Red Devils are poised to rekindle the very best of their flair up front with the signature of some of the very best forward’s about.

But bolstering the departments dipping lower down the pitch would also bear fruit for the United, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur target Sofyan Amrabat one player who must be considered in the scrap for stability at the forefront of the Premier League.

With United’s centre midfield options of Fred and McTominay failing to cut the mustard on frequent occasions, indeed Fred holds a rating of 6.71 in the Premier League and his Scottish teammate only 6.63, a fresh conductor at the centre of the park is vital.

With Morocco defying expectations at the World Cup in Qatar, Amrabat has been the “monster” in the middle, completing 87% of his passes, and recording an average 2.5 tackles, and 1.5 clearances and interceptions.

His work at the centre has been imperative to the African nation’s success, allowing the likes of Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri the freedom to roam up front and search for openings.

Against Spain, where Morocco doggedly saw out a goalless draw before triumphing in a penalty shootout, earned Amrabat praise for his defensive “masterclass”, winning all seven of his ground duels and making four tackles.

And having kept three clean sheets from their four matches in the competition, against salient outfit’s Belgium, Croatia and Spain, his orchestrating of the play is integral.

For Fiorentina, at domestic level, Amrabat has played 20 times this term, maintaining an exceptional passing accuracy of 91%.

Statistical site FBref also further illustrate his supreme ball-playing prowess, ranking him within the top 4% for passes completed and 3% for progressive passes when compared to positional peers across Europe’s big five leagues.

Signing Amrabat would be a real statement of intent, striking a blow into the hearts of Premier League rivals with similar aspirations and instilling a calm, composed presence into the engine of the Red Devil machine.

United must consider the “world-class” ace’s signature, and at a reported fee £50m, United should swoop soon, and welcome him to the fold.
