Manchester United cannot move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat until they sell players first.

United manager Erik ten Hag is interested in the Morocco World Cup star having made an attempt in January.

The Independent says he remains keen, but needs to move out fringe players first to make room in his squad and to raise transfer funds.

Concerning for United is that Fiorentina can hike their price knowing Saudi Pro League clubs are also interested.

Amrabat's brother Nordin confirmed yesterday that "Arab teams" were in contact with Sofyan.
