Manchester United Champions League winner Owen Hargreaves is backing a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

Hargreaves says the Moroccan is the ideal cover for Casemiro.

“It looks like Erik ten Hag is pretty clear on what he wants," he told the Manchester Evening News. “It looks like one or two midfielders might be leaving, whether that's Fred or Van de Beek, but if they lose one of those then they need another body.

“Amrabat would be amazing. You could tell United were so different when Marcus Rashford and Casemiro didn't play - Casemiro can't play every game so having Amrabat, his physical profile is pretty unique.

“He's like a one-man wrecking crew in there at times, especially at the World Cup. Amrabat would be a great addition to that midfield, adds a bit of athleticism but a good player as well.

“You've got to balance the books a little bit but I think Amrabat would be brilliant and maybe one more. But I do think the squad is significantly better, or it looks on paper, than last season."
