Potential setback at Man Utd set to impede Sofyan Amrabat transfer and hinder £45m investment

Manchester United has suffered a setback with the injury of 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo, who hurt his ankle during a friendly match against Real Madrid.

This setback could potentially hinder United’s pursuit of Fiorentina player Sofyan Amrabat and prevent them from earning £45 million from the sale of Scott McTominay.

The team is aiming to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season and has already made several signings, including Mason Mount and Andre Onana.

However, the pursuit of Amrabat may depend on the sale of McTominay, with West Ham showing interest in the Scottish player.

United is also planning to sell Fred and Donny van de Beek, but multiple sales could leave them short of options in midfield.

The decision to keep or sell McTominay will have implications on United’s transfer plans and their pursuit of Amrabat.

Additionally, the injury to Mainoo has caused further disruption to United’s preparations for the new season.
