In a bid to bolster their midfield, Manchester United has reportedly initiated discussions with Fiorentina over the potential acquisition of Sofyan Amrabat. The Red Devils are said to be open to the idea of adding another midfielder to their ranks this summer, following the recent £60 million procurement of Mason Mount.
According to sources, the talks with Fiorentina are in the preliminary stages and are expected to advance as the transfer window progresses. This potential move is contingent on the departure of some of United's current players, with Fred being the most probable candidate. Scott McTominay could also be on his way out if a suitable offer is presented.
The Manchester-based club is also dealing with a goalkeeping dilemma following David De Gea's departure. The Spanish goalkeeper's contract expired last week, leaving United with Dean Henderson and Tom Heaton as the senior options. Henderson is reportedly set on a permanent move to Nottingham Forest, but this transfer is being held up by United's efforts to secure a new first-choice goalkeeper.
Andre Onana is the primary target for the goalkeeping position, but negotiations are ongoing as Inter Milan remains firm on their €60 million valuation. The club is also reportedly in contact with Fiorentina regarding their Moroccan midfielder, Sofyan Amrabat. However, these discussions are not yet advanced and could progress later in the transfer window.
In other news, United's new manager, Erik ten Hag, is reportedly focusing on filling the two major gaps in his squad. A first-choice goalkeeper and a world-class No.9 are at the top of his summer shopping list. With the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen how these potential moves will unfold and shape the future of Manchester United.
