Man Utd still favourites to sign Serie A midfielder

Manchester United continue to remain favourites to sign Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat in the current transfer window.

The Morocco international has already agreed personal terms with the club, but they are yet to make an official transfer bid.

The Red Devils are aiming to recoup funds from outgoings first. They have sold Fred and are now waiting for Donny van de Beek's exit.

Once the Dutchman heads for the exit door, United are likely to step up their pursuit and Italian reports have conveyed the same.

Juventus recently entered the race to sign the ex-Utrecht graduate, but United remain the main contenders to secure his services.

The Bianconeri are exploring the market for a new defensive midfielder, but they are likewise dependent on player sales to sign one.

Talks have taken place with Amrabat's entourage over a transfer, but the midfielder has his sights on moving to the Premier League.

Liverpool were linked with the Moroccan earlier in the transfer window, but they have turned their attention towards Southampton's Romeo Lavia.
