Manchester United ‘would get better’ with Sofyan Amrabat, says Louis Saha

According to Louis Saha, Manchester United would improve their squad by signing Morocco and Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

The 26-year-old has reportedly already ‘packed his bags’ and feels a deal is close after the Red Devils offered £22m for his services last week.

Saha has given a glowing report on the defensive midfielder, who turned heads with his impressive performance as Morocco reached the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar in December.

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

“Amrabat is a player I really like and he has a great level of intensity that I don’t think can be matched. It would be exciting to see him at Manchester United and he would improve the overall balance of the squad,” said Saha betfred.

“Manchester United could benefit from the addition of another midfielder as you hear rumors that Fred or Scott McTominay could leave the club this summer,” he added.

“You definitely need to have two defensive midfielders in your squad, so if Fred or Scott leave this summer, you’ll have to get another player. Marcel Sabitzer also left the club in the summer.

“We need legs, we need energy and we need strength that can help us upset teams. Mason Mount is another player who can bring more energy to the team as he is one of those footballers who runs seven miles a game.’

Amrabat has been on the books of Fiorentina for four years and made 15 appearances in Europe as the club reached the final of the Europa Conference League.
