Manchester United have reportedly made a decision on whether or not they will sign on-loan Moroccan star Sofyan Amrabat permanently.

Long admired by Erik ten Hag and the Red Devils, the record Premier League winners finally landed the 27-year-old's services at the beginning of the campaign via a season-long loan from Italian side Fiorentina.
While the defensive midfielder enjoyed a stellar 2022 FIFA World Cup with the Atlas Lions, since arriving at Old Trafford, the Dutch-born player has struggled to make a significant impact on the team.
According to The Sun, those at Carrington believe the English top flight may be a step too far for him and, as a consequence, it is unlikely the club will retain his services permanently.
Another factor deterring the club from signing Amrabat is the emergence of academy product Kobbie Mainoo.
The 18-year-old was originally not part of Ten Hag's plans at the start of the season, but the same report claims that the needs of the squad necessitated the fast-tracking of the young midfielder's path to the first team.
In the three league games he has started for the Red Devils, the teenager has looked relatively comfortable playing among established Premier League stars.
Many feel his performance against United's eternal rivals Liverpool last weekend is the most impressive of the games he has played so far after the England youth international earned plaudits from his manager after the encounter at Anfield.

It is said that Mainoo is rated so highly by the club that they envisage him as a possible starter for the team come the beginning of next season.
