According to a report from Fichajes, manager Erik ten Hag is currently applying pressure to the Premier League team to finalize a deal for the 28-year-old midfielder, who the Red Devils are reportedly eyeing at a steep discount.

At the end of the season, Rabiot will become a free agent, and he might be had for a fair price during the January transfer window. It’s unclear how things pan out, although there have been rumors that Juventus may try to reach an agreement with him on a contract extension.

The 28-year-old has demonstrated his ability to play for both club and country, and Manchester United may find him to be a valuable addition. He is currently at the height of his abilities, and the Red Devils in the middle of the park would undoubtedly benefit from having him.

He will provide the team more poise, defensive stability, and control. At this point in his career, the midfielder might be tempted to show off his skills in the Premier League, and it can be difficult to turn down the chance to play for one of the biggest teams in the world.

The 28-year-old might be Casemiro’s perfect midfield partner as Manchester United desperately needs midfield reinforcements.

The French international is eager to win significant club titles after helping his side advance to the 2022 World Cup final. Rabiot might be drawn to the prospect of playing for Manchester United because they have a strong team and the financial means to challenge the best teams in Europe.
