This whole bad touch thing is just down to match sharpness. its not his fault he's had bit-part cameos in hist first seasion in the hardest league in the world
Exactly. Arsenal was his first start of 2024. People complaining about him giving the ball away cheaply every now and then just lack common sense. No pre season, barely any game time, maximum 4 run of games, playing half his games out of position, etc. I guarantee that Amrabat will go to another top club and become an important player for them if we don't sign him. It's embarrassing that the liability Casemiro has been playing over him all season.
@@oscarjenkins7505 100% and just look at him yesterday against city. So strong, so reliable.
If this club get rid of ten hag and don’t buy amrabat I’d be fuming.
@@UNITED8993 Couldn't agree more.
We need such a quality squad player, he's so far the most effective Mainoo partner, he exudes safety, very underrated role
The fact ETH was basically forced into playing him doesn't reflect well on the manager.
He doesn’t “exude” safety per se. I’ve watched a lot of games in which he’s made rather rookie mistakes. Sure he may not have been playing his preferred position but we’re talking about mistakes that every player should have control over
Strength maybe. Safety? No...Made a fair amount of venomous errors from very stable situations. But I do think with proper center backs, there's not so much space for him to cover alone
@shadowside8433 him and Amad. That's the only reason I think Ten hag won't succeed here poor player profiling
@@sue3245 Yes - totally. In some ways he doesn't seem to understand the strengths and weakness of his own squad.... which suggests to me we should get shot of him.
I hope I'm wrong.
We need to make this signing permanent. I feel the more games he plays, the more sharper he'll be e.g. last season, whenever Case was out of the team for a while, he takes a couple of games to get up to speed.
I didn't need this games to tell me what I already knew, he compliments Mainoo very well. At anfield we were solid cos of both
Finally MU has a midfielder who actually like to stay down and do the defending , finally PRAISE THE LORD !
Who is that
You won't find a cheaper backup 6 than him. Good pro.
Much like ETH, there are also tangential reasons to keep him:
A new signing will need a preseason,
A new signing may need a season to bed in,
He will only have 1 season to prove himself (a new signing would get longer),
He could be sold easily and probably at a profit if he proves ineffective over the season (£20 million fee).
And he's already got a squad number! 😊
Keep.
Amrabat plus another CDM presents very good business
Onnana (60 million)or Rabiot (free transfer).Plus, we need LB, RB, CD, CM, RW, STRIKER, LW.
@@MuhammadShahIbran-lw7hbNone of Onana and Rabiot is a CDM.
Joao Palhinha should be the first name on the list if we can't get a younger CDM
Besides,we don't need a RW Or LW at the moment until our back four and midfield is sorted out.
@@MuhammadShahIbran-lw7hbFofana
If we could get someone like Leverkusen's Palacios... Unfortunately he won't chose United ahead of Neverlusen@@charlesodoch6070
For 15 million I'm not sure we can find a better bargain. Certainly without risking getting out maneuvered by a different club.
But surely the people in charge will be informed enough to decide if he's good enough as a squad player or if we need to let him go.
Considering the dire situation the squad is in currently I see little reason not to sign him.
Agree. He's a bit like Guirassy in that regard, except with Amrabat we get a player who's already adjusted to the PL. The only concern is about his consistency but we should sign another midfielder anyway.
The problem at united right now is new signings who are not big names do not get much time to settle. We are so bad that one defeat and the manager has to change things. Amrabat needed more game time but he has not been used much. Casemiro a big name player is so as a snail. We should have kept sabitzer as well. He also didn't get many chances to play.
I would sign him as a backup 6 for depth. If all we need to make him a permanent signing is £15 million or so, that's a bit of a bargain. ETH picking Casamiro over Amrabat and Anthony over Amad are 2 of ETH's biggest mistakes this season IMO.
Defo agree with you 👍🏻
He does the most important thing we need that Casemiro does poorly, stays back and help the defence.
I feel he struggled to settle into our squad and our poor form all season hasn’t help him ease into our team. He has been brilliant in the last 2 games. We know he can be a very good player based on what he did at Morocco and Fiorentina.
Expect Casemiro and Eriksen to go meaning we will be short in 6 position. Mount and McTominay are better in 8/9 position and only player that could possibly play there is Mainoo.
I feel we should a better player but we should keep him too. £17 is worth it considering we already invested £8.5m for him
Playing as a left back for his first half dozen appearances certainly didn’t help lol
I think yes. He's not the long term future of defensive midfield at Utd, but he's our best option currently and could be a good squad player when we get our act together.
I honestly love this signing. we've already paid 9m. Hopefully, we can cut a deal with them to get him for another 15m. Good squad player, still go out and get another 6/8. focus on other positions.
Amrabat is a tidy player and will be more effective as those around him.. Seems a bit slow though.. Few errors but maybe because he was not match sharp and under pressure.. all-in-all he's probably going to get better and If he was on a loan to purchase, maybe won't cost too much either (15mil ?).. we need to have a bigger squad and cover for the position..
I do hope we get amrabat, I think hes a solid DM maybe not first choice quality for the premier league but regardless theres quality, also I think for the price to make it permanent is not a bad price, however I am unfamiliar with other DMs for similar prices of Amrabat with the same or better quality
Amrabat is the kind of squad player every team needs. He provides depth.
As a squad player, i think he's good enough
TBH you're right about him cos I feel his been judged based on his efforts at LB but he should sign cos his exactly what we looking for, from Casemiro and we know how thats been going
He had a run of games from Oct-Dec in all comps as a DM. Was not good defensively and like AJ mentioned, he would make terrible passes that would get intercepted in dangerous areas.
Amrabat played as a third CB. Thats why he played different vs Arsenal & Newcastle.
The reason he hasn't been picked is because he doesn't play the basketball football that Ten Hag wants.
He seems to have gotten rid of the footbasketball since Wilcox came in.
I'm willing to give him another season if he'll do what INEOS wants.
My issue with him is he's not a top top coach, and we're Man United.
@@user-zc2sz1os3j It's more likely that he was forced to change in order to improve our form. Which is a huge indictment of him because it shows that he could have done earlier.
Id suggest they extend his loan for another year,,, because my problem with Amrabat is that he is very aggressive but doesn't always win the ball/win the 1v1s
I assure u no one knows wtf is going inside of ETH brain just like Amad
Brilliant analysis. Literally just saying out loud all my thoughts after the last 2 games
Amrabat is not good enough but he’s a rare profile DM who’s good in the build up, physical and defensively decent. His signing will prolly depend on Casemiros future and his alternatives available on the market.
What do you think of possible no 6s? Could you make a video on that? What do you think of the likes of Fofana, Hjulmand, Andre Trinidad, Wieffer, Kephren Thuram etc.? Would be interesting with a video comparing who is the best from top to down.
Not signing amrabat will prove that we are not serious
i would have just for the squad depth.
He hasn’t been fully utilize IMO while u need 2 CDM when Case leaves along with Erikssen & maybe McT. Do take up this option
Well I think the reason he’s not been playing is because he came with a injury and with no pre-season he said he hasn’t been on his best and played out of position in his first few games in a new league. Also Ten hang has been trusting Casemiro to turn things around but so far he’s let him down
In my opinion, no. Firstly, united should sign a no.6 in youssouf fofana this summer to replace casemiro. Secondly, maxi oyedele should be fofana's backup for depth. Lastly, if we really want oyedele to get game time and see what he's capable of, amrabat cant be signed. Credit to him though for his solid performances recently 👏.
it depends on rather there are other options in the market. If I am Ten Hag, I would try to play Martinez in the defensive midfield, it may level up the overall performance.
After we sell Casemiro and Eriksen, we will not have a single DM in our squad (I see Kobbie as more of a box to box, although he can play the DM role also).
Amrabat can be a decent squad player, especially given that his asking price would be quite low.
Along with Amrabat, we will need to sign another top quality CDM, and perhaps promote someone else also from the academy/get someone on loan (considering that we also need to strengthen CB, ST, RW and LB).
Why Maguire and shaw is there in your squad?
They need to be sold
Yes sign Amrabat on a permanent deal!
Another advantage is that signing Amrabat provides the club some space in budget to go for a proven high quality ground covering CDM who might be a bit expensive, Amrabat definitely increases the floor of the squad.
United have no CDM that can retain possession except for Amrabat. His awareness of the opponents, turning with the ball at his feet, not frequently passing back to Onana, able to find pocket pass and aware of his teammates position to make necessary adjustments are good enough to keep him. People keep forgetting that Amrabat played out of position most of the season. For 15M, United can't get any better player than him especially as a backup DM and the fact that Casemiro is leaving this summer. United need to keep him. Any possession-based team would love to have Amrabat. He may not be as good a Gondugan but he is the same attributes as him.
Unless we need him as a sub and we couldn't find another alternative
I was his biggest fan at wc but he failed with us and gave away the ball near our area way too much. Best price i would pay is 5 Mil
To answer your question, YES we should buy Amrabat👍👍
As I said after your previous video on midfield targets, buying Amrabat is a NO-BRAINER as he gives us everything we need from a defensive midfield cover/shield. I find it mindblowing that ETH hasn't played him more and when he has played him he has played him out of position.
We should also buy Onana from Everton as this will give us 3 players (Mainoo, Armabat & Onana) who can play either as a single or double pivot which will ensure that we don't overplay Mainoo (who looks to be in danger of premature burnout).
Yes 100%. Sign him very first before other clubs steal him.
Yes as a backup
he's a bargain... even after signing a CDM , i'll still sign amrabat. he's a very good option in mid and has got good attitude (not sulking, kept working hard waiting for his opportunity)
"Viva Amrabat. Amrabat Needs to Play For Us This Coming Season. He Deserves it." Aluta Continua. Abdulsultan.
Yes at the right price he is a good bench player and strong reserve .
But not a frontline player who will help United to the top.
We need to get rid of a certain basketball winger to allow the team an effective posession shape
i pray please keep him him pairing mainoo works so well when we have case in midfield our midfield looks so open coz case cant defend cant track back hes legs are gone gives the ball away too much aswell amrabat is better he can track back he has great pace very underrated we need to keep if we are a serious club we shouldn't let amrabat go amrabat really wanted to be here he rejected every club to join us so i suggest make it permanent
While his start at United wasn't great, the fact that he's barely featured when the Casemiro+Mainoo midfield just hasn't worked is strange. Last two games he's shown to be a solid option. I don't think he'd be expensive and as a squad option, I think it'd be a good investment.
I've felt like he's not up to it all season. The Brighton game was maybe the poorest united performance of the season, right up there with Onana at Galatasary
Is that Minecraft background music? 😂 10:15
For only 20-25 million I honestly wouldn’t hate it purely for depth
La fiorentina veulent le récupérer
It's nonbiggie Amrabat should stay and for Scott should, be next of the transfer list along with some others in Midfield
Sofyan Amrabat is definitely a keeper. If they don't sign him then we need to get De Jong
Yes anything under 30 mil i think is decent business and i think we maybe able to get him a lot cheaper
how i wish Amrabat should be signed
i think amrabat is just being good in the last games so he can be signed by us and he will be bad the other season like we have seen players doing
We just cant sell every player and. Buy 11-12 players. We need to sign one CM but if we are letting go casemiro then we need to keep amrabat. He will be good second option for CDM role.
He growing into his job, still not quite good enough. Say he doesn’t have enough chance is misleading. He had massive opportunity but couldn’t take it. Only when casimiro absolutely shite the bed, and TenHag has no other choice then he got pick. He isnt good at receive the balls while being pressed, slow to react and his passing accuracy dropped massively.
I think if we let this player go, we will regret it. The more games he plays, the better he will settle in, how many players like this are around for £15 million ?
Yes. He’ll be dirt cheap (we’ve already paid more than half his fee), and he’s a great squad player that has work ethic and enthusiasm even when out of form, out of position, and out of fitness. We need some midfield workhorses after we let the likes of Herrera and Fred go… think squad, not starters
why don't just convert AWB into a 6?
Ok for depth, but not a starter. Those bad passes to the opposition happens waaaay too much.
It's too big an if. We can't have players in the team that can easily drop an error that leads to a goal conceded every other game
last game he was utter shite. he just gave the ball away OVER and OVER and OVER again
It was a very bad season so just get him under 10-15 mill he might turn up a good squad player
Amrabat don't do it for me in midfield I still think man utd should go for João neves and try to lure De Jong again to man utd , we need midfield who can progress the ball 50 yards up the field and not just play negative procession
They should have already signed him by now..
I hope we keep him, ETH has not given him game time
Definitely not get him gone he’s bang average I’d rather keep mctoninay in all honesty
The fact that we plan on selling so much trash I guess it makes sense to sign him
For 15 mil I’d buy him
we should keep him coz he is cheap costly and can replace Casamiro
No. He is the right type of player, yes. But he's not mobile enough, doesn't retain possession sensibly enough and isn't dynamic enough for the PL.
There are world class options out there, why sign ANOTHER mid range one we know isn't good enough to drive us forward?
depth
@@eesafredericks2122 Nope. We have bought clearly not good enough players for 10 years, it doesn't work. You pad the squad out the Academy, you don't buy the Lindelofs, Freds, Maguires, Wan-Bisakas, Antony's and more of this world and expect a different outcome
@@liamr194 I would imagine we will spend big on a starting holding midfielder. We would be signing Amrabat as a backup 6/8 on the cheap. The difference between this potential signing and the players you mentioned were that they were bought with the intention they would be starters. They were also bought for massive fees. If we had spent 20 million on someone like AWB, I don't think people would be complaining too much.
or maybe sign Ndidi from Leicester on a free
The problem is the coach let’s be honest. He will rather play mctominey over him. ETH have no eye for real players
UNITED should buying 30 plus year old experienced midfielders because the premier league demands pace especially when facing the Big 4 EPL teams
Good lord no do not buy him gives the ball away too often in dangerous positions. Can’t tackle too slow. Just not good enough
Those simple acts matter alot
Funny that most people here would keep him, I thought I was the only one. Not sure though that Amrabat himself would be happy with being second choice starter for long term.
if they re not planing to give him time , he d better run for his life . he ll achieve nothing in this circus of a club . man u is a shadow of what it used to be in the 90s , amrabat been used in every position except the one he plays , then get benched for half the season , he should go back to itally as Man u will literally ruin his career .
15 million max
I think it's to late
I agree for the most part, but I wouldn't be surprised if he plays in the fa cup final.
If he does well in that test then I think is a good option to take for that price.
lets sign him
He's just ok. A real liability the farther up the pitch he gets. He's undone by fast, powerful direct runners and he cannot shoot the ball. I'd sign him for 10M pounds, two year contract with team options for third year...incentivize him to outperform while the team brings along a youth player over time. Keep in mind he'll also disappear for a month every season during Ramadan like he did this year.
I think we haven’t appreciated these types of players when we have had them. Just simple footballers. Take Sabitzer last year. He just wanted a ball. Then gave the simple pass. Nothing mental. The biggest example I think was van de beek. I loved watching him and sancho for about 2 games together. Donny just loved a simple 1,2. We seem to rather these chaos players like mount
Believe me no one on the pitch among Manchester United palyers has the heart of a true warior like Amrabat he's devoted to the Manchester anthem and people that love that team we can say that Amrabat could fight like Roy kean the ex devoted fighter
I cannot believe that we're having a serious discussion about Amrabat. 😑
It's taken him until May to have a single good performance, and even then it's only been like 3 games.
You can say he's not played, but when the manager who signed you doesn't fancy you, despite the midfield massively struggling, that is a terrible sign.
If we do sign him, I am CERTAIN that at the end of next season, we'd be discussing him as a player we should offload. 😕
I don't really agree. Granted, he isn't the worst player in our side and yes, he didn't get enough chances to show himself but he also didn't take the chances he got. If we want to be pragmatic, that means saying goodbye to him. The video listed the last two matches as his better games: one game was a very deserved loss against Arsenal, the other was a rather lucky win when the opponent created numerous good chances to score 4 or 5 against us. A match he kind of deserved to concede a penalty too. The guy isn't a spring chicken. It would take another more than 15million to buy him and for what? He isn't good enough to be starter and all this talk about signing him as a squad player - I'm shocked - are people actually watching our matches? Have they seen our seasons? We have a shit team. And a rather shitty first team. This needs to improve - when that is done, we may talk about squad players but thats not where we are. This shortsighted thinking has led to us sitting on fecking Lindelof or McTominay for almost 8 years. Fecking Martial could demand a testimonial... People act as if we would be winning left right and center, applying logic as that would apply if we'd compete in many comps, but we aren't competing for anything at all.
Take the 15 million for Amrabat and invest it wisely. Next season shouldn't be seen as an opportunity to win silverware but to improve the team.
edit: the counter he "stopped" was more butchered by Newcastle than forced by him. one easy pass from Isaak and we have two players free in front of our goal.
edit2: You don't buy players for them to be a backup. Especially if don't even know how your first team is going to look like. Backups should resemble the skillsets of the starters to slip into the team without too much of a fuss.
This season our main reason for suffering has been the tactics and in my opinion they are responsible for why the injuries where too many. The system tried to free up the 8s to attack but left the CB and DM with too much to do hence the injuries there. That's why the last 2 games have looked good, ETH simply abandoned his nonsense! In my opinion he doesn't deserve another year. We will just see more of the same being clueless and favourites i will pass i dont want to see the same 11 the whole season, poor manager!
Get some ball knowledge please,,,,this happend due to injuries and if you had a problem with ten hag's tactics you should have adressed this issue last season when we were prettty decent
@@l3wy375 last season we weren't playing his ball by his admission, we played the formation suited to the players after the first 2 losses. In football you can protect players from being too exposed by changing tactics, now if you can't see that because you have ten hag deep in your throat its not my problem!
The OP is absolutely correct. Ping pong or basketball football is extremely demanding on the players physically - leads to having little control, making more mistakes and lots of INJURIES. Beside choosing this approach, the other thing that Ten Hag is culpable of is having favourites in the team. Always playing his favourites and not giving a run to others, and then those others cant get match fitness and consistency, and get discarded. Ten Hag is too stubborn. Too many examples - Playing Antony not Amad. Playing Rashford for too many games and not dropping him when he isn't trying. Scape goating Maguire and wanting to get rid of him, and instead Harry saved his ass. Playing mcT as a starter for too many games.. Even Amrabat playing now is due to his hand being forced by having no more CBs so Case plays CB and it's almost like last resort that Amrabat is given a chance to play...
Ten Hag simply has to go. Sooner the better
He’s played in a team that’s been exposed tactically in midfield with rubbish players in a new league. He will be great next season if signed.
