Fiorentina facing Amrabat problem after Manchester United howler

Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is edging ever closer to a return, as Manchester United will not want to take up their option to buy after his howler against Manchester City.

There had already been multiple reports in England that the Old Trafford side was not going to make the season-long loan move a permanent one.

That sentiment will surely intensify after he came off the bench in the Manchester Derby this afternoon and a horrid first touch gifted Erling Haaland the goal for 3-1.

Morocco international Amrabat cost Manchester United €9m just for the loan period, as well as covering his salary throughout the season.

There is an option to buy for a further €20m plus another €5m in add-ons, but considering he was mainly used as a left-back by Erik ten Hag, it is obvious Manchester United are not making the most of his talents.

Fiorentina are therefore going to be faced with a conundrum when he returns to base, having to find him another club, knowing the time in Manchester only lowered his transfer value.
