Manchester United are reportedly moving closer towards the signing of Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat with ‘secret contact’ having been made between the Red Devils and Fiorentina.

He is now United’s top target after they wrapped up the £72million signing of Rasmus Hojlund.

Pedulla tweeted: After the sale of Castrovilli, it will soon be the turn of Amrabat.

Man United are reportedly moving closer towards the signing of midfielder Sofyan Amrabat

‘As already mentioned, there have been SECRET contacts between Fiorentina and MUFC through intermediaries.’

United were keen to sign him in January but his Serie A employers were hesitant to let him go.  

Amrabat has been on the books at Fiorentina for four years and played 15 times in Europe as the club reached the Europa Conference League final.

The Red Devils are yet to lodge an opening offer for the £30m-rated midfielder and will need to move on a few players first.

Erik ten Hag is looking to further strengthen his midfield before the window closes 

Donny van de Beek, Fred and Brandon Williams have all be deemed surplus to requirements and are attracting interest from other clubs.

United recently opened talks with Real Sociedad over the possible sale of Van de Beek while they are expecting an improved offer from Galatasaray for Fred after turning down an undisclosed bid from the Turkish side last month.
