Morocco international Sofyan Amrabat has spoken about his pride after signing for his dream club.

The Fiorentina star has completed a deadline-day move on loan to Manchester United.

Amrabat will be with the Red Devils for the entire season, with United having an option to make his deal permanent.

"I'm very proud," he said to club media.

"I think already a lot of Moroccans have followed already United, but now [there will be] a lot of extra million fans from Morocco.

"And they are so, so proud.

"I hope that I can make the fans for United and also them very, very happy and proud."

"I think United had so many fantastic players and young midfielders," he added.

"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.

"Of course, [my brother and I] spoke about it. He told me that he thinks that I have to go to the Premier League, it is the strongest league in the world.

"So now I'm here, I can't wait."
