Sofyan Amrabat inspired by Manchester United greats

Speaking to club media, Sofyan Amrabat says he enjoyed watching the Manchester United teams of the past, when he was growing up.

Amrabat picked out several players who stood out for him, including three midfielders he took inspiration from.

He explained: “I think United had so many fantastic players and young midfielders. So, in general, I look more to the midfielders like Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, David Beckham. “But there were so many big players. Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Louis Saha, Wayne Rooney, [Cristiano] Ronaldo. I can go on for one hour to say names.”

Sofyan Amrabat promises passion

Amrabat was asked also about what Manchester United fans can expect from him on the pitch.

He explained: “I don’t like to speak about myself. I want to show it on the pitch, but I can promise that I will give my best with everything; every day, every minute, every second. So, it is the only thing that I can say now.”

He also added that he was looking forward to linking back up with his former Utrecht boss, Erik ten Hag. The midfielder will look to emulate the passion and drive of United’s legends as he begins his career at Old Trafford.
