• Sofyan Amrabat has been linked with a summer move to Manchester United
• Erik ten Hag is said to be keen to strengthen his midfield ahead of the new season
• However, United would need to sell some players to fund the transfer of the Moroccan

Manchester United could reportedly be forced to sell five of their players to fund the transfer of Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

United are in the market for new players ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, with Erik ten Hag keen to strengthen his squad to help him challenge for titles.

The Red Devils have already sealed two major transfers so far in the shape of Mason Mount and Andre Onana.

However, reports claim Ten Hag is looking to add a midfielder and a striker within his ranks, with Amrabat top of his transfer wishlist.

According to The Mirror, the Fiorentina midfielder caught the eye of potential suitors after leading light in Morocco's charge to the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar in 2022.

The 23-year-old would cost the Red Devils as much as £50 million per Sportbible, meaning the club would be left with no choice but to cash in on their deadwood players to fund the transfer.

5. Donny van de Beek

The Dutchman has failed to hit the ground running since he moved to Old Trafford in the summer of 2020 on a five-year contract.

Injuries and a dip in form have largely impacted his progress in the Premier League, plunging his future with United into uncertainty.

The Man United academy graduate is the other player the club could cash in on.

The Scotsman is valued at around £40 million.

The Manchester club are understood to be willing to accept an offer from potential suitors.

The Independent reports that Championship side Leeds United are keen on his services.

2. Fred

Man United's pursuit of Amrabat is spelling doom on Fred's future at Old Trafford.

While the Brazilian has been a mainstay figure in Ten Hag's squad, reports claim the Dutchman is looking for an upgrade.

Fred, who joined United from Shakhtar Donetsk, has been linked with a possible move to Galatasaray.
