The role that Casemiro will have before the possible arrival of Amrabat to United

Manchester United is close to make Sofyan Amrabat their new signing in this transfer window, and now the player could arrive to make some moves to the team.

The fact is that Erik ten Hag wants to sign at least another midfielder that could help the team play the way that he wants to, and it also seems that Sofyan Amrabat is the main option, mainly because he could arrive and play at different roles for the team, and one player that could be affected by that is going to be Casemiro and his current position on the pitch.

Now it was reported by Manchester United Evening News that Sofyan Amrabat and the red devils have already agreed on the personal terms that would make him a new player for the team in this transfer window, and the team also communicated Fiorentina that the move is going to happen closer to the end of the transfer window, but that it will happen.

Sofyan Amrabat wanted to play in a bigger club in this transfer window, and now the same source reported that he is already waiting to arrive to Old Trafford and that he is actually excited for the deal to happen, that was the main reason why the personal terms where not a problem and they could make that part of the deal happen.

Sofyan Amrabat role

The fact is that Erik ten Hag sees in Sofyan Amrabat two roles, he could play as a number 6, meaning that he could take over the current position of Casemiro, but he could also play as a number 8 and bring a lot more attacking options to the team, the truth is that Amrabat is the perfect box to box player that the manager has been looking for since last season.
