Manchester United have seen two midfielder moves blocked with the Red Devils blocking several offers to sign a free agent, Tottenham’s

 

 

 

exclusivity deal for a classy USA midfielder has been confirmed, while Barcelona have agreed an out-of-

 

 

 

window free transfer signing of a teenage winger.move permanent worth €20m (£17m / US$22m) if all Amrabat was to prove a success.

 

 

 

However, the 28-year-old struggled with the pace of the Premier League and found himself in and out of the United side over the course of the campaign.

 

 

 

And while he enjoyed some solid displays in the back end of the season, helping the club to win the FA Cup, it

 

 

 

was decided by officials at United that they would not be triggering the option to make the deal permanent.

 

 

 

Having headed back to the Serie A side and then learning he had no future there, La Viola then contacted United

 

 

 

to reduce their demands, offering first a chance to sign the player on a reduced sum and then, more latterly,

 

 

 

on another season-long loan.Speaking on the Talk of the Devils podcast, journalist Andy Mitten said: “Erik ten Hag wanted Amrabat for this season.

 

 

 

“And because of the chat internally, that didn’t happen and that’s fine. This is how Manchester United are working now.”

 

 

 

Amrabat did eventually secure a loan move, hooking up with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, who will ironically also now face United in the Europa League group stage.

 

 

 

Fabrizio Romano juices Man Utd links to Rabiot

 

United, meanwhile, have also rejected the chance to sign Adrien Rabiot this summer, and with the player now set for a surprise move instead.

 

 

 

A free agent having left Juventus at the end of the season, Rabiot’s mother and agent, Veronique, is understood to

 

 

 

have held discussions with a number of Premier League sides over a prospective free transfer move.

 

 

 

Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, and United have all been connected.

 

 

 

Ultimately, the 29-year-old midfielder remains a free agent, though reports in the last 24 hours have strongly suggested that an after-the-deadline

 

 

 

move to Old Trafford is still on the cards, with the Red Devils potentially looking for a replacement for Christian Eriksen, who has been set to leave.

 

 

 

Anderlecht are believed to be leading the pursuit for the seasoned Dane.

 

 

 

However, trusted transfer journalist Romano insists that, despite many possibilities to sign the 48-times capped France international, a move to Old Trafford is not in the plans.

 

 

 

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Guys, I can guarantee you that Adrien Rabiot was offered to Manchester United multiple times throughout the summer, in July and August.

 

 

 

“However, Manchester United’s position remains clear on that one. So they never considered taking Eriksen out and bringing Rabiot in.

 

 

 

” With no club in mainland Europe able to match Rabiot’s wage demands, the player is believed to have agreed

 

 

 

to a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, where he will join former Juventus teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nasr.
