- Donny van de Beek & Fred are set to leave Manchester United. So Erik ten Hag needs reinforcements in central midfield. According to Fabrizio Romano, Sofyan Amrabat is Man Utd's top target in midfield.
The Moroccan international has played under Ten Hag before at FC Utrecht, so would be already up to speed with the Dutchman's methods. Does Sofyan Amrabat to Man Utd make sense?

Does Sofyan Amrabat to Man Utd make sense?
Do make vd for pavard
yes
Absolutely Yes Love em a good Casemiro Backup ...nd Mr Dave please a Video for Todibo would be great
Yes. Partly for his defending but mostly his ability to orchestrate possession.
Absolutely critical signing.. gonna be like bruno signing…
After refusing to buy holding midfielders for 10 years, United is buying the second one in 10 months. In a world recently dominated by Fabinho, Fernandinho and now Rodri, it must be chrystal clear that it’s necessary in order to maintain consistent results. It’s the spine that gets the 1-0s over the line. This means GK, CB, CDM, CAM and ST. We’ve taken the short term road on ST, neglected the GK tactics, exploded back into relevance after buying our first CAM in ages in Bruno, and improved consistency after buying Casemiro. Now, both a long term striker and a modern GK as well as a backup DM, we’ve improved our spine dramatically. Not having to rely on Maguire or McFred to keep up winning ways when form dips or injury plagues us, is nothing short of a Revolution.
Some good points but Bruno isn't a CAM
@@adrianbarker1546 I’m interested in your alternate reality. What do you think Bruno is? You mean a CM because he’s been used there as well? He’s not box to box though is he? His skill set is much more akin to the 10 role, no?
Matic was a great CDM in the first year.
@@aritrachowdhury3950 that’s a good point. There was one short term CDM. He was functioning when Herrera and Pogba were still there under Ole. One season. That’s it .
Herrera wasn't used by Ole and to be fair Matic was good for two years, almost three, only he wasn't used much as he slowed down and he was sat next to Fred or mctomminay. As soon as Natic dropped off/out the midfield was abysmal and open with very little creativity or cover going on. What made Matic good, even useful at the end was his positional awareness. He may have lost his pace but he knew where to be at least. Mctomminay hadn't the beginnings of it, never will. He was a striker at youth left and converted to a box to box at best under mourinho. He isn't create much but also his positional sense or lack of is where he becomes a liability if being used defensively. He and fred are capable of breaking up play but both don't know where to be in transition.
It’s such a sensible move. It makes United a very different team to prepare for. Sancho false 9, 442 diamond or just that traditional 4231 hybrid
Absolutely fella, absolutely! 👊🏼
Yeah righto mate
Onana and amrabat will be bounce passing one-two's around a press
Sancho will never play false 9
@@masterroshi6755dont forget licha
Seeing as rice went for 105 mil getting amrabat for 30m is amazing hes a leader and boses the midfield amrabat and casemiro double pivot vs fred and mctominy is almost comparing bronze to diamonds
I think you have to remember that its a long season and we really missed Casemiro when he was missing games last year.
This transfer not only improves the first team tactical options but it also covers a really important position in the squad which we have no depth at. Fred, McTominay just couldn't do the same job that Amrabat will be able to do.
Yes. This signing gives us CDM options thst we didn't dream of about 2 years ago. Teams will know they're in a battle with this lad, Casemiro and Martinez
Great stuff Dave! A vid comparing Pavard, Tapsoba, Todibo and any other possible Maguire replacements would be great!
pavard makes no sense. don’t know why we’re linked to him. tapsoba & todibo are much better options
I actually feel more excited about Amrabat coming to United than any other signing so far.
He is such a combative and positive influence that will undoubtedly boost United's midfield. I can hardly wait to see him play at Old Traford.
I get Roy Keane vibes from him, especially after having seen him play against France in World Cup. What a player!
I have no doubt that his addition to this team would add so much quality and intangibles, which will become evident in less than two
Seasons
Facts💯
Does he make sense?
- Can cover for Casemiro, when he eventually gets a red or a lot of yellows.
- Can play alongside Casemiro, when we play against tougher sides, like City or Liverpool, making us harder to break down.
I'd say yes.
With Amrabat we’re growing and that’s all I know, it gives us a lot of flexibility. Also he’s 26 not 25, he’ll be 27 at some point this month.
Amrabat will also be crucial in big games and will add a new dimension to Ten Hag’s 3-1-6 with Casemiro making those 3rd runs into the box while he stays deep to dictate.
I think you greatly highlighted that Dave. Good to highlight his range of passing always likes to look for spaces and always aware. Also I noticed he has great stamina since WC Morocco. Great signing he'd be
Dave, i know this is off topic but could you do a comparison video for Pavard, Todibo and Tapsoba? It seems these 3 choices all have their pros and cons, and we need a clear answer who is the best fit for United.
Amrabat will be quality for our midfield. We need technical quality in the midfield. We need more players that can keep the ball.
Bloody great video. Very talented presenter. Just subscribed 🎉
Amrabat and Casimero in the pivot will challenge for the PL title. Amrabat provides the passes and the carries, and Casimero provides the defense.
He’s a player to use in tactical changes in tight games against tougher and ball playing teams. We can play 442 diamond at times with him holding the right side of the midfield.
Amrabat for €30m will be a decent value for money signing for us.
The possession retention is a very key thing for me as we don't keep the ball well at all in midfield. Too many sloppy mistakes and rushed passes when sometimes it needs to be recycled. That first half against Lens showed this. we were much better on the ball in the second half, didn't rush things and drew them to us to play in behind them. I should say that Bruno was overall secure on the ball in majority of the game and he was still creative. I hope he can keep it up for the season. Casemiro and the full backs need to work on that aspect
I'd be absolutely buzzing with this move!
I really like your analysis. To make it a little more interesting to follow up, have you considered using short clips of the action you are describing as opposed to static images?
Been wait for this video thank you statman dave
"Too often players with united in past seasons were afraid to receive the ball and hid from the ball."
Just say his name. Mctominay
Great analysis. I have subscribed
We should get both Amrabat and Lavia we need more technically secure player not just rock and roll all the time
I believe Ten Hang will get us a title in the next 3 seasons. Its been so long.
He does most of what Fred and McTominay do, just a bit better. So yeah. It's also good for certain games where you'd need the physicality. Saw that against City, both Rice and Partey gave them no control in midfield
Great show as always. You should go on some the footy shows talk some sense
All for increased versatility and the unpredictability of having multiple formations at Ten Hag's disposal. As long as the players are familiar with their roles and responsibilities in each, there's no reason that we can't play a 4-4-2 diamond, but I would worry that we aren't getting the best out of the likes of Rashford, Garnacho and Antony as wingers (Sancho is possibly an exception as he seems to thrive as a central 10 or a false 9).
Onana from Everton is another very good squad player that we can add to that midfield. Donny, Fred and McTominay leaving, we should bring in 3 midfielders in Amrabat, Onana & Tchoumeni.
With which money ? Tchoumeni alone will cost a fortune .
AS If Madrid would sell.😅
Clown world🤡
😂😂😂😂
When? 2025?
Mount?
Love your stats need one for Pavard and Todibo
I dunno what you use to do the football formations, but could you not do van der M... (can't read the name) on two lines? instead of nuking the size?
I waited for the here we go before I watched this😂😂🔥🔥 Let's go Sofi
He might bench mount at this point who looks more like a Mata signing not sure where to be effective
When will the fpl video be out?
I feel every youtuber says a potensial transfer makes sense before they get bought up, then being critical a year later if they flops 😂
Really hope we get him, at the moment chances are slim.
So he can be back up to Casemiro and play alongside him. Nice
I don't know why we didn't sign him yet. Now hearing we link with Andre Onana which I think is not as good as Amrabat in many aspect.
Onana, Hojlund, Mount, Amrabat, Pavard Malacia, Eriksen, Casemiro, Martinez, Antony... you can see that ETH rates Shaw, Rashford, Varane & Bruno, but otherwise he wants a whole new first choice XI for the CL and PL... add Garnacho, Sancho, Martial, McTominay, Lindelof, Mainoo & Diallo and we have a really good squad with it's best years ahead of them...Cas & Raph excepted...
Casemiro should worry for his place))
Still think we need to sell 6 players before getting Amrabat and a center half
Onana; AWB, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Amrabat, Mount; Bruno, Rashford and then whoever ETH wants for his strategy... with Martial, Garnacho, Sancho, Eriksen & Diallo we have plenty of goals on the bench.
Amrabat, Todibo and Savard please!
Pavard *
That’s never gonna happen. We can barely afford Amrabat, even after player sales. Plus, we don’t need one CB, let alone two. A backup striker is far more important. So is a backup CM if Scott, Fred, and Donny are sold. We’d be very lucky to get two of those, which would be a waste of money anyway, other than Amrabat.
@@oscarjenkins7505yes we need a back up striker but, we need a back up CB more. Varane can get injured whenever, Maguire is leaving, who’s the back up?? Goals win you games, defense win you titles.
@@oscarjenkins7505 Agreed. Amrabat is vital and it's looking like Mainoo will be taking a bigger role if all 3 leave. The way things are going on the striker front, I'd be highly surprised it's not Greenwood added back to the team. Kane is looking impossible and we're not really linked with anyone else plus there's no indication of Greenwood leaving. Focusing on Todibo makes sense then but I hope we stay away from Pavard. He's a passenger on great teams and adds nothing to us.
@user-dp7iw5fn7g Lindelof and Shaw are both very good backups. We saw that last season. Lindelof is especially good. Who are we playing up front if Hojlund doesn't play? Rashford? Martial? Sancho? Shaw and Lindelof are both far better options than those three. The same goes for a backup to Mount. Eriksen has been very poor for a while now, and neither him or Amrabat fit into the role that Mount is playing. We could even loan Evans for a season if necessary.
His he coming or not bow its talks of pavard and others. Do we have enoguh time in the window?
Did you just said sofran in the beginning 😂 ?
Very funny cos amrabat is what poch would exactly want as a DM
Did he say Sofran 😂😂
I’m sad we are taking too long to bring this guy in. This is the best we can get for that amount. Casemiro is slowly declining this guys is a better baller than rice why are we taking too long. Those long passes rice doesn’t do those. He only plays is 5 yards passes well and tackle. Amrabat can do more we need this guy to make our window 10/10
We need to dale first
Is he coming then or what? Been waiting for ages or we waiting for McTominay and Maguire to be sold first?
I think we are waiting for Fred to go, Amrabat is the natural Fred replacement
If Sofyan Amrabat is signed at United i think the Tranferperiod is done for United. Anybody who will join is just a extra. I think a second number 9 is a must but i don't think thats going to happen. Amrabat is a very good choice.
We have already signed players for about 200m. We are already in the extras. We keep going for expensive choices but it is nice seeing the club back the manager at least.
My only worry is that previously the loans go up when we spend more than the usual 120m so I'm guessing that we're already working with borrowed money...
Not familiar with amrabat but reading the comments and videos of him, isnt he a bit like our ander herrera?
His a different player to Casemiro. The way he drift in between the center back to get the ball is something Casemiro don't do.
Yes
We need young Midfield bully who can switch seemlessly as a attacking midfielder and drop back to support Caesemiro in defensive blocks. Armabat looks like he fits the bill.
Mainoo
@@wangachitete1888upcoming. Amrabat would do well for now while mainoo grow.
prefer him over mount, that midfield just sucks.
Different profile mate.
I amore excited about Amrabat than Mount.
Feels like he may get few red cards
And Manutd fans think this is the standard we have settled for. The guy is absolutely average and I don't want to argue with anyone. This club is finished. From De Jong to this? What is Ten Hag trying to do or achieve? Even Sangare from PSV is better than this. For me it doesn't make any sense, we need world class or potential world class players
Anything over mctominay
ASP,GET AMRABAT IF MANUTD FC WANT TO CHALLENGE MANCITY....
Juventus is getting him already. Manchester United is taking too long! Stupid management.
So gulible. Apparently PSG were getting Hojlund which forced us to add £20m to our offer. Amrabat is not even that good.
@@almac9203 Amrabat not that good? Tell me what you're sniffing?
Don’t bother he ain’t coming he likes Italy. If he leaves he’ll go to Juve. Let’s move on and get someone who wants to wear the shirt maybe Lavia.
Amrabat mount Bruno that's one of the best midfield trio we can have
They'll cook for 3-4 seasons
Next time bring ur voulume up
What are you analyzing
I can’t believe mason mount has been thrown into the bin
Shame.
lesssgooo
We need amrabat,sorry but lm deeply skeptical About Mason mount !!!!!! Im really sorry !!!!!! A flop to be, this Mason mount ! Martial 2!
What is it with English people and the pronounciation of names? Sofran? Seriously Dave?
They don't bother or care if a player is not British. Such an easy name
