Sofyan Amrabat did well at Manchester United when he was given a chance by Erik ten Hag

Amrabat made 30 appearances for Erik ten Hag's team. He consistently made the team early on, but was in and out of the team as the season progressed.

He started 17 matches and didn't start a single one in five months until the penultimate weekend of the league season.

According to the Manchester Evening News (MEN) the 27-year-old Morocco international is keen to extend his stay at the club but is also open to signing for another Premier League side.

The report adds that the Red Devils had the option to sign the midfielder for around €20million as part of their initial agreement.

Will Amrabat return to Man United?

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Man United have told the Italian club they will not trigger the buy option clause in their agreement.

Romano adds that the English giants are willing to discuss new terms if they want to sign the midfielder.

MEN reported that Ten Hag has yet to discuss the possibility of signing the midfielder with Sir Jim Ratcliffe's new team, which includes Dan Ashworth, technical director Jason Wilcox, and chief executive Omar Berrada.
