Man United tipped to re-sign star player in shock move as his Old Trafford ‘dream’ is revealed

It’s expected that Manchester United will make an unexpected attempt to re-sign Sofyan Amrabat.

In an unexpected move, Man Utd is expected to re-sign Sofyan Amrabat.

The arrival of Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee has caused Manchester United’s transfer window to burst into action.

Sofyan Amrabat has surfaced as a surprising alternative for Dan Ashworth, who is considering possible midfield additions.

Sofyan Amrabat didn’t play up to par when he came on loan to Man United last season.

Only 15 of his 30 appearances over all competitions were starts as he failed to establish himself on the squad.

As part of the loan agreement, Man Utd can sign Amrabat permanently for a reported fee of £21.4m, having already paid £8.5m to loan him last term.

Amrabat’s parent club Fiorentina have given Man Utd until July 21st to decide. We understand that their new sporting director Ashworth has already ruled out triggering the buy option.

However, reports from Italy suggest that Ashworth is exploring the idea of bringing Amrabat back to Old Trafford on another season-long loan.

Amrabat extended his contract with Fiorentina until 2026 before he joined Man Utd last season and Radio Bruno claim that’s why the Italian side could entertain another loan deal.

The 27-year-old ‘dreams’ of returning to Old Trafford for another campaign and he isn’t in Fiorentina’s plans for the future, per the report.

As mentioned, Man Utd are keen to sign a new midfielder but it seems unlikely that re-signing Amrabat is a route they’ll go down.
