Manchester United transfer target Sofyan Amrabat is an admirer of the club's head coach.

Amrabat has worked with United boss Erik ten Hag when they were both at Utrecht in the Dutch league.

The Moroccan defensive midfielder, who had a great World Cup, spoke about Ten Hag recently.

He stated: “He made a plan for me. He asked me about my strong points and what I wanted to improve. From the first day, he was busy with me. Not only me, all the players.

“A lot of coaches are busy in general with the team but he put a lot of time into individual work because he knew if the individual was better the team would be better. After every game, he would take me through a video and explain everything to me.

“I was 18 or 19 years old, so sometimes I was thinking, 'Oof, again?' But now, when I look back, I know it was so important for my career. I learned such a lot from him."
