Sofyan Amrabat ‘set to STAY in the Premier League next season’ even if Man United don’t make his loan deal permanent… as ‘two sides chase his signature’ despite disappointing spell at Old Trafford

Sofyan Amrabat is set to stay in the Premier League next season with or without Manchester United, according to a report.

The midfielder has had a disappointing loan stay at Old Trafford this season, making just 28 appearances since joining from Fiorentina in the summer, with just nine starts coming in the Premier League during a spell that has failed to live up to its billing.

Expectations were high for the midfielder when he arrived at United, but his form has been inconsistent, with his starts arriving from a possible 28 games that he has been available for.

It seems his temporary stay won’t be made permanent next season, but two other English top flight sides are said to be interested in his services ahead of next season.

According to The Sun, both Fulham and Crystal Palace are monitoring the midfielder, whose future remains unclear.

His agent met the club for talks this week and it is unlikely his move will be made permanent

Amrabat’s agent was in Manchester for talks on Tuesday, and it seems increasingly unlikely that United will trigger the £21.4m option to sign him permanently from Fiorentina, having already paid £8.5m to have the Morocco midfielder on loan this season.

Amrabat was one of United’s better players in the defeat to Arsenal on Sunday and he also impressed against Newcastle but it was only his 14th start of a season in which he has also filled in as an emergency left-back.

The 27-year-old former Feyenoord and Utrecht player is attracting offers from Saudi Arabia, and could move there at the end of the season, though may also remain in the Premier League.

Palace, meanwhile, are said to have been impressed by…
