Man Utd have been monitoring Sofyan Amrabat throughout the transfer window but have been forced to make a loan offer two days before it shuts.
If the end of Manchester United's permanent dealings in this transfer window come with a departure for Dean Henderson and the £4.3million arrival of Altay Bayindir, then the finances that tell the story of the summer will have a familiar ring to them.
As early as the first week of July, before the arrival of Mount had been confirmed, it was made clear Ten Hag was open to signing a second midfielder, but that any move would be dependent on sales and raising funds.In Italy, United have been linked voraciously with Sofyan Amrabat since June and while sources close to the club played down how accurate some of the claims were, the 27-year-old was a player under consideration throughout the summer.
Liverpool signed Waturo Endo instead and are now pushing to sign Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich, another former Ten Hag midfielder that United were monitoring. So United are trying to get creative to sign a player Ten Hag has wanted all window. There is now a reluctance to consider selling Maguire, given the injury to Raphael Varane, but if they sign Amrabat then it is only going to drop McTominay further down the pecking order.
