The French midfielder is a rather unique character in modern football, as his mother Veronique is his agent too

Manchester United have agreed on a deal to sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot. However, according to Sky Sports, personal terms still need to be negotiated with his mother, Veronique, who is also his agent.

Rabiot, who joined Juventus as a free agent in 2019, is in the final year of his contract and has fallen out of favour at the Italian giants. Juventus are ready to let Rabiot go.

United's primary midfield transfer target this summer has been Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong, but they have been keeping alternative options "warm" after being frustrated in their pursuit of the midfielder.

Rabiot had a brief spell in the academy of Manchester City before turning professional at Paris Saint-Germain in his homeland a decade ago.

He made 227 appearances and won five league titles at PSG before joining Juventus three years ago. Rabiot started 28 matches in Serie A last season.
