Sofyan Amrabat, the Moroccan international football player, is set to play against Manchester United for Fenerbahce in the Europa League match tonight. He had previously spent a season on loan with United, making 30 appearances and contributing significantly to their FA Cup triumph over Manchester City. Despite his efforts, United decided not to activate his buy clause but were considering a permanent deal at a lower price.
Amrabat revealed that Erik ten Hag, who wanted to bring him back to Manchester this summer, was blocked by Jason Wilcox, an executive at INEOS. Despite the setback, Amrabat remains focused on the match and hopes for a win against his former team.
Following his departure from United, Jose Mourinho targeted Amrabat to join Fenerbahce, with new terms that include an obligation to buy next summer. The midfielder’s journey from Old Trafford to Fenerbahce highlights the complexities of the transfer market and the influence of key decision-makers in the process.
