No. He is the right type of player, yes. But he's not mobile enough, doesn't retain possession sensibly enough and isn't dynamic enough for the PL.
There are world class options out there, why sign ANOTHER mid range one we know isn't good enough to drive us forward?
how i wish Amrabat should be signed
The fact that we plan on selling so much trash I guess it makes sense to sign him
This season our main reason for suffering has been the tactics and in my opinion they are responsible for why the injuries where too many. The system tried to free up the 8s to attack but left the CB and DM with too much to do hence the injuries there. That's why the last 2 games have looked good, ETH simply abandoned his nonsense! In my opinion he doesn't deserve another year. We will just see more of the same being clueless and favourites i will pass i dont want to see the same 11 the whole season, poor manager!
He does the most important thing we need that Casemiro does poorly, stays back and help the defence.
I feel he struggled to settle into our squad and our poor form all season hasn’t help him ease into our team. He has been brilliant in the last 2 games. We know he can be a very good player based on what he did at Morocco and Fiorentina.
Expect Casemiro and Eriksen to go meaning we will be short in 6 position. Mount and McTominay are better in 8/9 position and only player that could possibly play there is Mainoo.
I feel we should a better player but we should keep him too. £17 is worth it considering we already invested £8.5m for him
It's nonbiggie Amrabat should stay and for Scott should, be next of the transfer list along with some others in Midfield
Yes anything under 30 mil i think is decent business and i think we maybe able to get him a lot cheaper
Yes sign Amrabat on a permanent deal!
Believe me no one on the pitch among Manchester United palyers has the heart of a true warior like Amrabat he's devoted to the Manchester anthem and people that love that team we can say that Amrabat could fight like Roy kean the ex devoted fighter
He’s played in a team that’s been exposed tactically in midfield with rubbish players in a new league. He will be great next season if signed.
For only 20-25 million I honestly wouldn’t hate it purely for depth
I hope we keep him, ETH has not given him game time
i pray please keep him him pairing mainoo works so well when we have case in midfield our midfield looks so open coz case cant defend cant track back hes legs are gone gives the ball away too much aswell amrabat is better he can track back he has great pace very underrated we need to keep if we are a serious club we shouldn't let amrabat go amrabat really wanted to be here he rejected every club to join us so i suggest make it permanent
we should keep him coz he is cheap costly and can replace Casamiro
While his start at United wasn't great, the fact that he's barely featured when the Casemiro+Mainoo midfield just hasn't worked is strange. Last two games he's shown to be a solid option. I don't think he'd be expensive and as a squad option, I think it'd be a good investment.
United have no CDM that can retain possession except for Amrabat. His awareness of the opponents, turning with the ball at his feet, not frequently passing back to Onana, able to find pocket pass and aware of his teammates position to make necessary adjustments are good enough to keep him. People keep forgetting that Amrabat played out of position most of the season. For 15M, United can't get any better player than him especially as a backup DM and the fact that Casemiro is leaving this summer. United need to keep him. Any possession-based team would love to have Amrabat. He may not be as good a Gondugan but he is the same attributes as him.
After we sell Casemiro and Eriksen, we will not have a single DM in our squad (I see Kobbie as more of a box to box, although he can play the DM role also).
Amrabat can be a decent squad player, especially given that his asking price would be quite low.
Along with Amrabat, we will need to sign another top quality CDM, and perhaps promote someone else also from the academy/get someone on loan (considering that we also need to strengthen CB, ST, RW and LB).
He growing into his job, still not quite good enough. Say he doesn’t have enough chance is misleading. He had massive opportunity but couldn’t take it. Only when casimiro absolutely shite the bed, and TenHag has no other choice then he got pick. He isnt good at receive the balls while being pressed, slow to react and his passing accuracy dropped massively.
Not signing amrabat will prove that we are not serious
I think if we let this player go, we will regret it. The more games he plays, the better he will settle in, how many players like this are around for £15 million ?
"Viva Amrabat. Amrabat Needs to Play For Us This Coming Season. He Deserves it." Aluta Continua. Abdulsultan.
As a squad player, i think he's good enough
why don't just convert AWB into a 6?
To answer your question, YES we should buy Amrabat👍👍
As I said after your previous video on midfield targets, buying Amrabat is a NO-BRAINER as he gives us everything we need from a defensive midfield cover/shield. I find it mindblowing that ETH hasn't played him more and when he has played him he has played him out of position.
We should also buy Onana from Everton as this will give us 3 players (Mainoo, Armabat & Onana) who can play either as a single or double pivot which will ensure that we don't overplay Mainoo (who looks to be in danger of premature burnout).
Another advantage is that signing Amrabat provides the club some space in budget to go for a proven high quality ground covering CDM who might be a bit expensive, Amrabat definitely increases the floor of the squad.
We need to get rid of a certain basketball winger to allow the team an effective posession shape
it depends on rather there are other options in the market. If I am Ten Hag, I would try to play Martinez in the defensive midfield, it may level up the overall performance.
Yes at the right price he is a good bench player and strong reserve .
But not a frontline player who will help United to the top.
We just cant sell every player and. Buy 11-12 players. We need to sign one CM but if we are letting go casemiro then we need to keep amrabat. He will be good second option for CDM role.
Why Maguire and shaw is there in your squad?
They need to be sold
Definitely not get him gone he’s bang average I’d rather keep mctoninay in all honesty
15 million max
I think we haven’t appreciated these types of players when we have had them. Just simple footballers. Take Sabitzer last year. He just wanted a ball. Then gave the simple pass. Nothing mental. The biggest example I think was van de beek. I loved watching him and sancho for about 2 games together. Donny just loved a simple 1,2. We seem to rather these chaos players like mount
Amrabat is the kind of squad player every team needs. He provides depth.
Brilliant analysis. Literally just saying out loud all my thoughts after the last 2 games
I cannot believe that we're having a serious discussion about Amrabat. 😑
It's taken him until May to have a single good performance, and even then it's only been like 3 games.
You can say he's not played, but when the manager who signed you doesn't fancy you, despite the midfield massively struggling, that is a terrible sign.
If we do sign him, I am CERTAIN that at the end of next season, we'd be discussing him as a player we should offload. 😕
Yes. He’ll be dirt cheap (we’ve already paid more than half his fee), and he’s a great squad player that has work ethic and enthusiasm even when out of form, out of position, and out of fitness. We need some midfield workhorses after we let the likes of Herrera and Fred go… think squad, not starters
Well I think the reason he’s not been playing is because he came with a injury and with no pre-season he said he hasn’t been on his best and played out of position in his first few games in a new league. Also Ten hang has been trusting Casemiro to turn things around but so far he’s let him down
Id suggest they extend his loan for another year,,, because my problem with Amrabat is that he is very aggressive but doesn't always win the ball/win the 1v1s
The problem is the coach let’s be honest. He will rather play mctominey over him. ETH have no eye for real players
or maybe sign Ndidi from Leicester on a free
Good lord no do not buy him gives the ball away too often in dangerous positions. Can’t tackle too slow. Just not good enough
