Manchester United are considering bringing back Sofyan Amrabat on loan for another season, according to reports. Last season, the 27-year-old Moroccan midfielder struggled initially due to playing out of position and lacking a proper pre-season. Despite this, Amrabat impressed towards the end of the season, leading to calls from fans for a permanent deal.
The Red Devils were initially open to signing Amrabat permanently but were not willing to pay the pre-agreed price of €20 million plus add-ons. With the offer expiring in June, United are now looking to secure a deal for €15 million, but there are doubts about whether they will even pay that amount.
Sporting director Dan Ashworth is reportedly exploring the option of another loan deal for Amrabat, who is not in Fiorentina’s future plans. The midfielder extended his contract with the Italian side until 2026 before joining United last season. With uncertainties surrounding Casemiro’s future, United are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Manuel Ugarte and Amrabat being potential targets.
Despite Ashworth ruling out triggering the buy option, reports suggest that Amrabat dreams of returning to Old Trafford for another campaign. With Amrabat understanding his manager’s expectations and the team needing quality in midfield, a loan move could be a viable option for both parties. The decision now lies with INEOS on whether to pursue Amrabat or explore other options for the upcoming season.
