Man United announce Sofyan Amrabat signing

Man United has confirmed the signing of Sofyan Amrabat. The Moroccan joins on loan with an option to sign permanently next summer. 

United will pay €10m (£8.5m) to take Amrabat on loan with an option to buy the player for €25m (£21.4m).

Fiorentina had preferred a permanent deal while United are conscious of complying with Financial Fair Play rules.

The midfielder has been capped 49 times by Morocco and played every minute of his country’s run to the semi-final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Last season, Amrabat played a key role as ACF Fiorentina reached the final of the Coppa Italia and UEFA Europa Conference League.
