In the final stages of the transfer window, Manchester United focused all its attention on plans to supplement personnel for the defensive midfielder position. This is a position that shows instability in the first rounds, so Erik ten Hag wants to solve the problem soon.
In response to the request made by Ten Hag, Man Utd promoted negotiations to recruit Sofyan Amrabat and brought the Moroccan player to Old Trafford on loan.
Amrabat has joined Man Utd.
Amrabat has long been targeted by Man Utd, but according to sources from Football Insider, he is not the Premier League giant’s priority in recruiting. Instead, they want to own midfielder Joao Palhinha from Fulham.
The Portuguese made a strong impression after moving to the EPL last summer, becoming one of the best sweepers in the league.
Man Utd planned to approach Palhinha. But Football Insider revealed that, because Fulham demanded a fee of up to 90 million pounds, they were forced to abandon this goal and turn to Amrabat.
As for Palhinha, the former Sporting Lisbon star went to Germany to prepare to join Bayern Munich, but the deal broke down at the last minute because Fulham could not find an alternative.
