Donny van de Beek & Fred are set to leave Manchester United. So Erik ten Hag needs reinforcements in central midfield. According to Fabrizio Romano, Sofyan Amrabat is Man Utd’s top target in midfield.

The Moroccan international has played under Ten Hag before at FC Utrecht, so would be already up to speed with the Dutchman’s methods. Does Sofyan Amrabat to Man Utd make sense?

  1. I dunno what you use to do the football formations, but could you not do van der M… (can't read the name) on two lines? instead of nuking the size?

  2. Does he make sense?
    – Can cover for Casemiro, when he eventually gets a red or a lot of yellows.
    – Can play alongside Casemiro, when we play against tougher sides, like City or Liverpool, making us harder to break down.
    I'd say yes.

  3. After refusing to buy holding midfielders for 10 years, United is buying the second one in 10 months. In a world recently dominated by Fabinho, Fernandinho and now Rodri, it must be chrystal clear that it’s necessary in order to maintain consistent results. It’s the spine that gets the 1-0s over the line. This means GK, CB, CDM, CAM and ST. We’ve taken the short term road on ST, neglected the GK tactics, exploded back into relevance after buying our first CAM in ages in Bruno, and improved consistency after buying Casemiro. Now, both a long term striker and a modern GK as well as a backup DM, we’ve improved our spine dramatically. Not having to rely on Maguire or McFred to keep up winning ways when form dips or injury plagues us, is nothing short of a Revolution.

  4. We need young Midfield bully who can switch seemlessly as a attacking midfielder and drop back to support Caesemiro in defensive blocks. Armabat looks like he fits the bill.

  5. I think you have to remember that its a long season and we really missed Casemiro when he was missing games last year.
    This transfer not only improves the first team tactical options but it also covers a really important position in the squad which we have no depth at. Fred, McTominay just couldn't do the same job that Amrabat will be able to do.

  6. Amrabat will also be crucial in big games and will add a new dimension to Ten Hag’s 3-1-6 with Casemiro making those 3rd runs into the box while he stays deep to dictate.

  7. Seeing as rice went for 105 mil getting amrabat for 30m is amazing hes a leader and boses the midfield amrabat and casemiro double pivot vs fred and mctominy is almost comparing bronze to diamonds
