Manchester United have recently received a massive boost with one of their recent transfer targets.
The Red Devils are looking to sort out their midfield situation with Casemiro and Christian Eriksen waning last season and Scott McTominay looking likely to depart soon with an official bid from Galatasaray amid interest from Spurs and West Ham.
Looking to recruit to the centre of the pitch, United are meeting PSG this week to discuss the details and terms which would see Manuel Ugarte move to Old Trafford with Jadon Sancho going the other way.
Now, United have received a boost from another one of their targets who formerly played for the club.
Jose Mourinho’s interest in Sofyan Amrabat
Former United manager, Jose Mourinho has recently joined Turkish club Fenerbahce and is looking to another former Red Devil to join the club.
Football365 have reported that The Special One is extremely keen on signing Morocco international Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina.
Unfortunately for the Portuguese manager, Amrabat “only has Man Utd on his mind this summer”. The 27-year-old has recently returned to Fiorentina from his loan spell at Old Trafford at the end of the season, but is desperate to get back to the Premier League club.
The asking price for the midfielder is currently set by the Serie A club as £12.5 million (€15 million), however United would only consider a loan deal at this time.
Fiorentina are looking to offload the 27-year-old with the star not quiet about wanting to leave the club and return to Old Trafford.
It’s possible for United to secure the loan deal if they were to include an obligation to buy at the end, with a valuation of up to £10 million. With the star so keen to leave the Italian side, we could see Fiorentina easing their demands as the transfer window goes on.
