According to Calciomercato through Sport Witness, Manchester United has Sofyan Amrabat on their list of players they want this summer and are prepared to compete with Barcelona to secure a deal.
This season, Amrabat has maintained his status as a consistent first-team player for current club Fiorentina, making 29 league appearances with one assist. With 83 appearances under his belt thus far, he has already made more league appearances for the Italian team than any other club. It demonstrates how crucial the midfielder has become to the team since joining from Belgian club Club Brugge.
Amrabat is now one of Europe's Big Five leagues' most remarkable players at his position. His 67.12 passes per 90 puts him in the top 11% of that group, or the 89th percentile. Even more astounding is the fact that despite making so many attempts, he has a pass completion percentage that places him in the top 5% of his position and a progressive pass completion rate that places him in the top 8%.
Two major European teams are now interested in him because of his superb passing range, ball control, and vision. Manchester United and Barcelona are both interested in signing the midfielder after he said his current squad "goodbye" during their Europa Conference League final, according to Calciomercato via Sport Witness.
According to the report, United may still be in the lead due of their superior financial strength to the Catalan team. He now carries a 40 million Euro (or £34 million) price tag from Fiorentina, and Manchester United are better equipped than Barcelona to cover it.
If he were to sign, the midfielder could undoubtedly improve the Premier League team's numbers in the center of the field. Erik Ten Hag would be acquiring a player who, in addition to being an excellent passer as demonstrated in the past, is also capable of advancing the play on his own by dribbling and passing the ball.
With 1.62 progressive carries per 90.
For instance, his 1.62 progressive carries per 90 indicate that he performs above average for his position (67th percentile), and his 70.6% successful take on rate demonstrates that he is able to beat his man in addition to moving the ball forward.
Josh Bunting, a football writer, earlier praised the player as "outstanding," acknowledging that the midfielder "ran the game" in the Europa Conference League Final.
Amrabat is undoubtedly gifted, and if he were to join with Old Trafford, his ability to control the game may be invaluable.
