Manchester United send Amrabat back and want Morten Hulmand
Manchester United have reportedly informed Sofian Amrabat that they will not sign him on a permanent deal, and have already identified Sporting Livsson star Morten Uhlmand as his ideal replacement.
The Moroccan moved to Old Trafford in a €10m loan deal from Fiorentina last summer, with United having the option to make the move permanent.
But the World Cup semi-finalist has struggled to adapt to the pace of the Premier League and United coaches have reportedly expressed concerns about the merits of signing the 27-year-old on a permanent basis.
As a result, Manchester United Now it looks like they have decided not to select the signature option. he loved Instead, we are actively pursuing alternatives for players better suited to the tempo of the Premier League.
Now, multiple reports suggest that United have decided to sign the Danish midfielder. cyclistHe joined Sporting over the summer in a bargain €18 million deal from Lecce.
The 24-year-old defensive midfielder stands at 6ft 1n and has a strong physique, as well as great physical attributes that make him perfect for success in the Premier League.
Of course, Sporting do not want to part with the money and A Bola is expected to pay the player’s full exit clause of €80m (£69m) for any deal, with United scouting the twice-qualified midfielder five times. I reported that I had to do it.
Manchester United will use Facundo Pellistri as bait in a swap deal.
But United chairman Jim Ratcliffe has a cunning tactic in mind and has twisted Sporting’s hands to get the deal done.
And with Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri linked with a move and possible departure, United have made it clear they are willing to include the 22-year-old in any deal.
The former Penarol man has had very limited opportunities to impress, making just 24 appearances since arriving in October 2020.
There have been nine of those this season, but Ratcliffe has made it clear that he believes Pellistri is not up to the standard required and is willing to move him on.
It comes as no surprise that reports have emerged that the winger, who starred for Alaves during two loan spells, is set to return to La Liga with 18 caps under his belt.
In fact, Villarreal is one of the teams that is strongly considering a transfer for the player, who has appeared in a total of 99 games and scored 3 goals. All this took place during his childhood in his home country.
However, United are hoping to use Pellistri as bait to help push for a move for Hulmand and get Sporting to lower their asking price further.
That said, a move is unlikely to happen this month and United could push for a move in the summer, but Pellistri can now be offered to Sporting on an initial loan deal to smooth the deal. .
Don’t miss it: Manchester United have encouraged the striker to sign his Champions League foe as he pushes for a move.
