Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sport Italia report that Amrabat’s move from Manchester United to Fiorentina is a done deal. The Red Devils have made a new, improved offer for the Morocco international which has been accepted by Fiorentina.

It was revealed earlier in the day that a private jet has been booked from Florence to arrive at Manchester Airport on Friday afternoon.
The Cessna jet appeared on flight tracking websites on Friday morning. As it is a private flight, it is possible the scheduled time could be pushed back amid the prospect of the Amrabat deal becoming more protracted. Amrabat is Ten Hag’s preferred target to bolster their midfield before tonight’s 11pm deadline.
Ten Hag coached the Morocco international at FC Utrecht in the mid-2010s. It puts an end to a transfer saga that had been raging since the transfer window opened.
