Sofyan Amrabat offers surprise update on Man Utd future after playing starring role for Erik ten Hag's side in FA Cup final

The Morocco international has spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan at United from Serie A side Fiorentina. Amrabat has not had the most dazzling of seasons but played a key role in helping the Red Devils beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley. After the match, the 27-year-old admitted he would love to stay longer.

Speaking to Ziggo Sport, he said: "Do I already know what I’m going to do next year? No. We are going to talk. Staying is certainly an option. Look, I think it has been a very difficult season. For Manchester United it needs to be much better, and also for me personally. We are going to talk. Manchester United are the biggest club in the world, so who wouldn’t want to play football here? But all parties have to be happy with each other, so we will sit down now and see what happens."

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the club with several players and manager Erik ten Hag's future up in the air. Amrabat played 21 times in the Premier League this season but has never been a guaranteed starter and has also had to fill in at left-back due to United's injury crisis. The club do have an option to make his move permanent but fans are yet to see the player that stood out so brightly during the Qatar World Cup in 2022.

Nothing will be decided immediately but several departures may free up some funds for the Manchester club. Their FA Cup triumph means they will be playing Europa League football next season and the Premier League giants will need a big enough squad to compete on all fronts. He may not be the next Luka Modric or Zinedine Zidane, but Amrabat would make a capable squad player who can help the team push for more silverware next term.
