Man United has nearly found the ideal replacement for Fred after witnessing the World Cup 2022 performance of an emerging “midfield warrior.”

The 2022 World Cup is a veritable “gold mine” for scouts from Manchester United and other clubs searching for quality players.

At the tournament in Qatar, Red Devils supporters realized why their favorite team has Cody Gakpo and Goncalo Ramos on its list of potential striker transfer targets.

Cody Gakpo’s impressive run of performances for PSV Eindhoven and the Netherlands national team indicates that the 23-year-old versatile striker has a promising future at Manchester United. In the meantime, Goncalo Ramos’ sudden and swift hat-trick on the opening kick of the 2022 World Cup will likely confuse MU’s coach Erik ten Hag as he decides which player to sign next month. January.

In light of the fact that Fred is expected to be released by the Red Devils at the conclusion of this season, MU will need to add personnel in the middle in addition to its goal of bolstering the offense.

Moreover, the ages of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are a cause for concern.

The rookie midfield duo is a clear upgrade for the Reds’ midfield, but the fact that they are both 30 years old is a rather depressing reality.

MU will need to add a defensive-minded central midfielder, which is precisely what the team is doing. Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad and Ismael Bennacer of AC Milan are two stars on coach Ten Hag’s radar. Nonetheless, it is likely that a third name will be added to this list: Sofyan Amrabat, who is playing exceptionally well for Morocco at the 2022 World Cup.

In the North African representative’s shocking victory over the Spanish “giant,” the 26-year-old midfielder single-handedly “weighed” the midfield and completely eclipsed La Roja’s heavyweight stars.

Sofyan Amrabat’s tireless ability to “plow the field” and his defensive style have made him an extremely attractive transfer target for the European giants.

According to a source from the Daily Express, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur considered promoting the recruitment of players born in 1996 following the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In this circumstance, Manchester United has every reason to enter the race for Sofyan Amrabat’s signature in January.

Amrabat is an excellent passer in the midfield in addition to his solid defense and proven fighting spirit.

The evidence is that the midfielder for Fiorentina has a passing accuracy rate of up to 87%, which is extremely impressive given that Morocco tends to hold the ball very little against “tough” opponents such as Croatia, Belgium, and Spain.

Because Sofyan Amrabat possesses such a complete set of offensive and defensive abilities, he has earned the right to be compared to Casemiro and called a “cheap copy” of him. It is common knowledge that the Moroccan player known as the “middle warrior” could be signed during the current winter transfer window by a club that is willing to offer Fiorentina a sum equal to or greater than £ 26 million in exchange for his services.

Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Bruno Fernandes are the three players that Manchester United’s head coach Erik ten Hag has assembled to form the perfect midfield trio for the club.

Now, the next task for the Dutch instructor is nothing but building a high-quality backup plan to increase competitiveness, and Sofyan Amrabat is the “piece” that the Red Devils are missing.
