Man Utd decide against signing £17m star, Erik ten Hag really 'likes' him - Fabrizio Romano

Manchester United have made a crucial transfer decision regarding their midfield department.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Man United have informed Fiorentina they will not trigger the £17 million buy option clause for Sofyan Amrabat.

Erik ten Hag ‘likes’ Amrabat, and United are willing to discuss new terms to bring him back to Old Trafford.

The Morocco international spent last season on loan with the Red Devils and featured 30 times.

His stay at United was a rollercoaster, starting off below par but ending on a high note.

United could try to sign Amrabat at a lower fee

The club have made a couple of smart moves this summer by signing Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro.

United’s hierarchy could try to re-sign Amrabat at a lower transfer fee.

While Amrabat is not the transformative player to elevate United into title challengers, he could still be a valuable squad member.

His versatility and tenacity make him a handy option for Ten Hag, especially in tough fixtures where depth is crucial.

The Dutchman preferred him over Casemiro for the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

This late resurgence has sparked interest in potentially renegotiating terms to bring him back to the Theatre of Dreams.

United are targeting Paris Saint-Germain star Manuel Ugarte, who has reportedly already agreed personal terms with them.

PSG are close to completing the signing of Joao Neves. His arrival could allow Ugarte to leave for United.

However, whether the Uruguayan international will join on loan or a permanent deal is still unclear. His arrival could also depend on Casemiro’s potential exit.
