Amrabat deal claim made
Moroccan journalist Izel Amass has claimed a deal has been agreed, tweeting, ‘Breaking News: Sofyan Amrabat to join Manchester United’.
However, he clarified this, adding: “There is still a detail to settle and the deal will be 100% good for Amrabat.”
In our opinion, this sounds like Amrabat may have settled on broad personal terms with Manchester United, with a fee yet to be agreed between the Red Devils and Fiorentina.
