Italians Fiorentina want £34million for the midfielder, 27, who has a year left on his contract.

United boss Erik ten Hag worked with Amrabat between 2015 and 2017 at Utrecht in the Netherlands.

But his main transfer target is a striker, following United’s decision to axe Mason Greenwood.

The club also need to raise funds to meet Financial Fair Play regulations having spent almost £370m  under Ten Hag.

They still hope defender Harry Maguire will go to West Ham in a £30m deal but he is holding out for a £15m pay-off.

United have been strongly linked with a move for Amrabat since last year’s World Cup.

The midfielder impressed as one of Morocco’s key man during their historic run to the semi-finals.

He also made 49 appearances for Fiorentina across all competitions as they reached the Europa Conference League final and finished eighth in Serie A.

However, despite their long-standing interest in Amrabat, United could still miss out on signing him.

The Red Devils were handed a blow last week as Fiorentina director Daniele Prade hinted United are unable to bid for him.

Prade told the club’s YouTube channel: “The situation is clear, he wants to join a top club and we want to satisfy him.

“But if we receive no offers, he will stay with us. We don’t have a player like him in the team.”

Meanwhile, Liverpool have also been eyeing a move for the former Feyenoord man.
