Former Manchester United Champions League winner Owen Hargreaves is endorsing a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

Hargreaves says the Moroccan midfielder would be the ideal back up for Casemiro.

Hargreaves told the Manchester Evening News:”It seems like Erik ten Hag is clear on what he wants. It looks like one or two midfielders might leave, whether that’s Fred or Van de Beek, but if they lose one of those then they need another player.

“Amrabat would be amazing. You could tell United were so different when Marcus Rashford and Casemiro didn’t play – Casemiro can’t play every game so having Amrabat, his physical profile is unique.

“He’s like a wrecking ball in there at times, especially at the World Cup. Amrabat would be a great addition to that midfield, adds some athleticism but he’s also a good player.

“You’ve got to balance the books a little bit but I think Amrabat would be brilliant and maybe one more. But I do think the squad is significantly better, or it looks better on paper, than last season.”
