Manchester United star Sofyan Amrabat is doubtful to face Sheffield United on Saturday
Manchester United star Sofyan Amrabat has looked promising in red since joining the club from Fiorentina according to season-long loan in the 2023 summer transfer window.
The Moroccan international has arrived at this team.
Old Trafford was injured and had to wait until September 23 to make his debut with the Red Devils.
Amrabat has since had a decent run of matches and to his credit, he has performed very well.

Midfield is a major concern for Erik ten Hag with injuries and poor form affecting the team’s balance.
Amrabat did not feature in Morocco’s final Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ivory Coast on Tuesday and will likely miss the trip to Bramall Lane this weekend.
An athletic man in the middle of the field, Amrabat is a successful ball winner and his presence could prove invaluable against a team like Sheffield.
The Blades are fighting for relegation and are expected to throw the kitchen sink at United, especially at home.

This comes after it was confirmed that Amrabat missed the match against Ivory Coast due to injury.
This is the second time in two months he has had to withdraw from international duty.
According to Al Ayam (via The Mirror), the nature of the injury was not specified.
Let’s hope it’s nothing serious as Manchester United look to claim back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season.
With a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against FC Copenhagen, Ten Hag will need their best players.
Is it time for another McTominay revival?
Amrabat’s potential absence will come as another blow in midfield given that Casemiro suffered a knock while on international duty with Brazil.
Should both players prove unavailable or not fully fit, Ten Hag could once again turn to Scott McTominay.
The Scottish international appeared to be on his way out last summer but has now worked his way back into contention.
His heroics against Brentford last time out will certainly put him in the club’s good books and he will hope to now get a sustained run of games given our injury troubles.

United have the option to make Amrabat’s stay at Old Trafford a permanent one for £21m next summer.
The 27-year-old certainly fits into Ten Hag’s system, but the club will need to ensure his injury problems are not a long-term problem.
