Manchester United are close to parting ways with Sofyan Amrabat, their midfielder, who joined them on a season-long loan from Fiorentina.

Last summer, the Red Devils signed the Moroccan international on transfer deadline day, paying a loan fee of €10 million to secure the deal with Fiorentina.

Under the agreement, United has the option to make Amrabat’s transfer permanent for €20 million, with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons.

However, Amrabat has failed to make a significant impact during his time at Manchester United, and according to Calciomercato, his chances of staying with the club next season have already faded away.

Amrabat’s current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025. If Fiorentina decides to loan him out to another club, they may need to negotiate a short-term contract extension.

His loan spell at United has been a disappointment. Despite high expectations following his participation in the 2022 World Cup with Morocco, where he showcased his hard work and ball recovery abilities, Amrabat has struggled to compete for the number six position with Casemiro.

Instead, he has found himself spending most of the league season on the bench, especially with the emergence of Kobbie Mainoo. Manager Erik ten Hag has favored Mainoo as the undisputed starter, and even with Casemiro’s injury, Amrabat is unlikely to receive a starting opportunity.

Moreover, Ten Hag has shown a preference for Scott McTominay in recent months, and Mason Mount, who has recovered from a calf injury, is expected to receive significant playing time in the remaining matches of the season.

As a result, it seems clear that Amrabat has no future with Manchester United.

During the World Cup in Qatar, Morocco’s head coach, Walid Regragui, praised Amrabat as a “world-class” player. However, he has struggled to live up to that reputation at United.

Amrabat has failed to adapt to the pressures of the Premier League, and a return to Serie A appears to be the best option for him, considering its tactical nature and comparatively lower intensity.
