Man Utd handed boost as midfielder eyes EPL move

Manchester United have been handed a boost in signing Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot this summer.

The Frenchman's current deal with the Bianconeri expires at the end of the month and he has declined a renewal.

Hence, he is expected to pursue a fresh challenge and Foot Mercato claim that he prefers a move to England.

United have been long-term admirers of the 28-year-old and they could make a fresh approach to land him.

Last summer, the Red Devils finalised a €20m package to sign Rabiot, but failed to agree on personal terms.

They were reluctant to pay him €200,000-a-week, particularly on the back of a poor season with Juventus.

However, they could meet his demands this time around after a superb 2022/23 campaign at club level.

Rabiot was Juventus' best player last season. He scored 11 goals and provided six assists from midfield.

With no transfer fee involved, United could be willing to meet his wage requirements to secure a Bosman deal.
