Manchester United will accelerate their efforts to sign Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina, according to reports.
Erik ten Hag is open to adding another midfielder to his ranks and the club have monitored Amrabat's situation at Fiorentina. However, despite selling Fred, further sales would be required before a move materialises.
Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay's futures at Old Trafford are less than certain. Any exit could accelerate a move for Amrabat.
However, Italian outlet La Nazione claim the Moroccan midfielder could arrive in Manchester 'within the next few hours' to complete a move from Fiorentina to the Premier League. That would come as a surprise despite the midfield struggles against Wolves.
