Sofyan Amrabat inspired by Manchester United greats
Speaking to club media, Sofyan Amrabat says he enjoyed watching the Manchester United teams of the past, when he was growing up.
Amrabat picked out several players who stood out for him, including three midfielders he took inspiration from.

Sofyan Amrabat promises passion
Amrabat was asked also about what Manchester United fans can expect from him on the pitch.
He explained: “I don’t like to speak about myself. I want to show it on the pitch, but I can promise that I will give my best with everything; every day, every minute, every second. So, it is the only thing that I can say now.”
He also added that he was looking forward to linking back up with his former Utrecht boss, Erik ten Hag.
The midfielder said: “It’s fantastic because I think Erik ten Hag is a coach who will push always to the limit.
“He’s hungry. He wants to win. He’s a winner and I like that. I think I’m also similar, I’m also a winner. I want to win every day so it’s a good match.”
Amrabat is on international duty with Morocco at present, with United confirming he has travelled to join up with the Atlas Lions.
