DONE DEAL: 'Patient' Amrabat happy making Man Utd move

Manchester United have signed Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat on-loan for the season.

United are paying a €10m loan fee with a further €20m due plus €5m in bonuses to make the deal permanent in June.

"I've had to be patient for this moment but I'm someone who always listens to my heart," he said.

"I am a passionate player; I want to bring that energy to the squad, and I will put everything into every action I take for the team.

"I know exactly how Erik ten Hag likes to work and what he needs from his players. His coaching and guidance developed me so much as a player earlier in my career; I know that he will help to bring out the best of my abilities so that I can help the group to be successful this season."

United football director John Murtough said: "Sofyan's committed, high-energy approach to the game fits perfectly with the group that we are building here.

"We know that Sofyan's mentality, dynamism and technical qualities will help the squad as we look to achieve success in all competitions this season."

Earlier on deadline day, United signed full-back Sergio Reguilon, centre-back Jonny Evans and goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
