The midfielder will initially join on a loan deal, with the option to make the move permanent for a fee of £21.4 million. When factoring in an £8.5 million loan fee, the overall value of the deal could reach approximately £30 million.

Fans have been closely monitoring Amrabat’s movements on deadline day, as Manchester United arranged for a private jet to transport him from Florence to Manchester.

Erik ten Hag had aimed to secure a permanent deal for the player this summer. However, due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, they settled for the loan agreement. Amrabat, a central midfielder, joined Fiorentina in 2020 and has since made 107 appearances for the club, contributing to their journey to last season’s Europa Conference League final.

His impressive performances for Morocco during last year’s World Cup attracted the attention of top clubs worldwide, including Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

Morocco’s surprising run in Qatar took them to the semi-finals, where they were defeated by France. Despite the exit, the 27-year-old earned acclaim for what was deemed ‘the moment of the World Cup’ when he executed a robust yet legal challenge on Kylian Mbappe, denying him a clear goal-scoring opportunity.

Manchester United fans will be hopeful that his presence can bring vital strength to their midfield in the upcoming season.
