Cristiano Ronaldo Backs Permanent Move for Sofyan Amrabat as Manchester United Weigh Options
In the closing weeks of the summer transfer window, Manchester United is still contemplating a permanent move for Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat. The 27-year-old, who joined the Reds on loan from Fiorentina last year, has now received a significant endorsement from none other than former United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Amrabat’s arrival at Old Trafford last summer came on the back of an impressive World Cup campaign. However, his loan spell has been marred by injuries and inconsistent form, leading to concerns over whether the club should exercise their option to make his stay permanent. Despite these issues, Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen on bolstering his midfield options before the transfer window closes.
According to sources, Ronaldo has made a strong case for the club to secure Amrabat on a permanent deal. The Portuguese legend, who is familiar with the demands of the Premier League, sees untapped potential in the Moroccan midfielder and believes he could bring much-needed depth and stability to United’s midfield.
This development comes as United faces difficulties in securing alternative midfield targets. A deal for Sporting Lisbon’s Manuel Ugarte appears increasingly unlikely due to Paris Saint-Germain’s high price demands, forcing the club to explore other options.
With time running out in the transfer window, the club’s hierarchy must decide whether to heed Ronaldo’s advice and commit to Amrabat or continue their search for alternative reinforcements. As the clock ticks down, the pressure is mounting on United to make the right call for their midfield and the upcoming season.
