Transfer: Man United eye first bid for Sofyan Amrabat; Arsenal considering move for Larpote

Manchester United eye first Sofyan Amrabat bid

Manchester United may be about to finally make their move for Sofyan Amrabat. Fiorentina’s highly-rated Moroccan international, one of the stars of the winter World Cup in Qatar, has been heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford all summer as Erik ten Hag ponders more midfield upgrades after the £60m arrival of Mason Mount from Chelsea. Progress has been slow so far, but Florence- based publication La Nazione says that an official offer from United for Amrabat may now be forthcoming.
