The only problem is the Red Devils are facing a lack of money for the job...

One of the best modern-day African players, Sofyan Amrabat, is training alone at Fiorentina as he awaits a move away. According to the British media, Liverpool have ruled out a move for the 27-year-old Moroccan. As things stand, Manchester United are in pole position to sign him, but an issue prevents them from finalizing the deal.

Apparently, the Old Trafford club needs to sell players to raise funds for the Amrabat move.

The player has been excluded from Fiorentina's 24-man squad for Thursday's Europa Conference League play-off, first-leg fixture away to Rapid Vienna. He has been made to train away from the rest of Vincenzo Italiano's squad.

On the other hand, United are in urgent need of a defensive midfielder to help out Casemiro after they were exposed in that area of the pitch in their 1-0 win over Wolves and 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Amrabat, whose asking price has been lowered by the Italian side from £30 to £21m, has emerged as their top target ahead of another African, Everton's Amadou Onana.

United have already spent £72m on striker Rasmus Hojlund, £55m on midfielder Mason Mount, and £43.8m on goalkeeper Andre Onana during this transfer window.
