- Sofyan Amrabat is currently Manchester United's best defensive midfielder. In this video, I highlight the reasons why INEOS and Erik Ten Hag should definitely turn Sofyan Amrabat's loan into a permanent deal this summer.

I absolutely agree with you. Amrabat is ruthless in that number 6, he adapted slowly but he has actually proved that we can rely on him.
And he did it again against City
Traditionally good players who come from another league have always struggled with Premier League football, especially at a Club like Man U, where we play such high risk football that can only be backed by good players behind the ball. Yesterday, I saw great transitional and 1-2 plays. The team would have 3 players around them and still manage to create space and pass. What a pleasure to watch that. Every game I will take it. Amrabat, Fernandes, Mainoo, almost every player on the pitch was pretending to be the player we bought them for.
We need to give Amrabat chance and game time he is great player
Amrabatt's first 5 to 7 games for United was as a left back and people fault him for performing poorly when he was played out of position
@@donannan9295right like dude barely plays & gets put in a already defeated game considering City dominated the ENTIRE GAME! Then he made the mistake which was bad but again barely plays & the game was dead even at 2-1
At last somebody talking some sense about Sofyan, let's keep the guy until the next season!!
No… please… let him return to his club.. he is not good enough
Who is good enough to wear that badge rn
Yeah lets just spunk 15 million for somebody who is 27, showed that he has problems dealing with intensity, wasn't able to reproduce his passing numbers in our league and isn't the bulldog people depicted him like. Spunk 15 million on somebody whose two best games have been a deserved loss against Arsenal and a lucky win against Newcastle United who created chances in numbers and quality to score 5 or 6 times. Even the "last ditch tackle" was more Newcastle screwing up than Amrabat being otherworldly. I'll give him that he didn't make a mistake but an easy first time pass vom Isaak and two people are clear in front of our goal. We paid 10 million for this transfer to be a loan. To not be stuck with a player in case he isn't really up to the task. Some fans just pi** it in the wind. 15 million can be the difference to spend 50 million or 65 million on a player who can start for United. Yet here we are having fans talking about "useful squad players".
@@mattdaniels6430 Players who can tackle well are good as gold . He dont even have to pass . Bruno have to just make himself available by staying close to Amrabat .
@@jackreacher8858 You have no idea how modern football is played. And when you think that Amrabat is particularly good at tackling you don't know much about tackling itself or/an about reading stats.
We loaned in Sabitzer last season and we couldn't see the performance we expected, but now we can see what we missed by losing him. He has been the linchpin in this Champions final Dortmund team
looking good in bundesliga does not always translate to being good in epl. Sabitzer was an asset but overall not what we need to be challenging.
He had a couple injury during his short run at man united anf i think that was one of the few reason they dont go for the premanent deal..But lets be honest united bought mason mount instead for high price who is on a the last run of his contract and end up injured 2/3 rd of the season.
@@RasLunacy he hasnt looked good in the bundesliga. hes looked good in the semifinals of the champions league. those are better teams than the premier. clearly, since no premier league clubs made it that far. its the ironic english arrogance, not even a top 3 league
@@RasLunacy You people forget who managed him. If we did not have injuries to our central defenders that forced tenhag to play Casemiro at center back, we would never have seen Amrabat. Same for Amad. These two were buried on the bench by Tenhag, if we had played them 10 -20 games ago, we might have been in the Champions league and not be embarrassed by the likes of Palace.
@danielvilliers612 amed had to be eased into the team. He had a bad long injury
I agree with you 100% because it is not easy to find a good defensive midfielder currently and Amrabat for now has gained form and coped with the style of premier League.
here after performance against city in the FA final that's a keep
Sofyan Amrabat should be in starting eleven... He really an asset for man UTD I agree with U bro
Amrabat has been very impressive over the last couple of matches. I am especially surprised at his ability to press. He doesn't just press for the sake of pressing. He knows exactly WHEN to press as a result, his presses often turn over possession into our favour immediately giving us an opportunity to counter attack.
It would be a smart move from United to trigger his option. United fans need to realise that we simply do not have the funds to invest in every position.
I like Amarabat, he’s taken a while to adapt to a new country, league and team but what he’s brought to the team over the last 2 games is what we have missed this season and as a club over the last 10 years. Commitment, aggression, bravery in the tackles and in possession of the ball.
Its extremely hard to impress when you barely play and when you do its in random positions. I feel like he hasn't had a good chance to show what he can do
He definitely showed that we need a physical strong runner and makes us better; I would be OK with him as a squad player but I would like someone younger and faster.
@@snorkelofsanity Younger, the guy is 27, this is his prime years. In todays sport, you can still be good until 33-35 year old. I am not saying we should not look to buy another midfielder, but 27 is not old.
He is not good enough to be Manchester utd player…
@@davidlaaki9982 good enough to be squad rotation for next season
The moment he will move to another club and shine again we will see united fans crying again
I just saw a world cup amrabat..tht last ditch slide was class. Amad was superb. If only they play from the start. But i agree with you on amrabat he can be a good squad player..
Moroccan Gattuso he will grow and mature like a wine as time goes by
Your case for Amrabat is very solid. In fact, it makes a lot of sense to keep him for next season. As you explained very well in your video, he can be a very good squad player if not a starter. If in the next two games he performs well, United should definitely keep him. Let's see...
I ENJOYED HIS PLAY AGAINST ARSENAL AND HE NOW BROUGHT GREAT PLAY AT NUFC. HE'S A MACHINE AND MUST BE KEPT
Agreed, there are other players that need to go before him and we can't replace them all.
The only weakness with Amrabat is that he gets bully’s in the air sometimes. But amrabat is a very good number 6 and players like him with his experience would be very expensive
Plus, he's prone to the occasional mistake. We oughta keep him tho
Hmm idk man he ain’t great on the ball
@@nemboy1567I think that’s rustiness….
@@ngolobolo9214that I totally disagree…. He’s actually good on ball. He can hold possession and his passing is way way better than casemiro
I'm hearing he's only 20million
I think Amrabat needs more game time not that we have much games left this season but i think keeping him out of the lot that needs to go, I believe this performance against Newcastle wasn't the first time he bailed us out. He was phenomenal last night
His price tag is good and he's a squad player, he loves our club, we really need to keep him
Get him out… he is not good enough… passion and love is not good enough to be a Manchester utd player… quality is also needed
What is the difference between him and Fred?
@@davidlaaki9982ur genuinely clueless, passion is exactly what manchester united have been lacking amongst their players
@@confliqted that’s why we are mid table… amrabat passion will not let him work into any of this top 4 clubs as a bench player let alone starter
@@davidlaaki9982 at least he can be on bench to give us more options without complaining of game time
I am a basketball coach. This defence 2 vs 1 situation is exactly how it should be done. It is called a periferal defence not going directly to the man with the ball. Retreat in between hustling to give time for other defenders to recuperate. In basketball we use what is called a tandem situation defence. It works for short court it should work better in football which has common athletical science. ❤
Amrabat brings two things this team is desperately short off. Physical strength and defensive discipline. However like any player in anew league he needed Arun of games to show it. The baffling thing is why he didn’t get that run of games before now.
I agree - keep him, for all the reasons you stated, which have been echoed by other viewers. Quality for cost.
he is very strong when it comes to body strength, it is good. He is also very determined when you see him goes through from box-to-box running for 80 yards (even though his top speed is not that high), his determination is admirable. He also has a very good sense when it comes to getting the "opponent" instead of the "ball" which is a PLUS because he understands he cannot "catch" those fast players. However, one problem with him, he always choose risky pass in which the teammates are not used to, which leads to a "chain-of-risky-passes" from Amrabat -> teammate 1 -> teammate 2 --> so on, these risky pass by Amrabat are often "50-50" between opponent and teammate, which is super dangerous.
I wouldn’t say it’s a 50/50 if you look at his long passes he has over 90% passing accuracy
Yeah, Amrabat usually plays it safe
I have always had great admiration for him and convinced that that Palace thrashing in the Cup match is epitome of Casey-Amrabat combo
players like AWB are the reason we concede so many goals on the counter. In a high press you need players with exceptional ball control to ensure every ball is retained.
That's why we need Luke back so we can play Dalot on the next wing or atleast Malacia
@@ahmaudmuirhead4686 Luke who? You mean the all time injured paycheck to paycheck Shaw? Nah, sell it.
AWB has a problem with passing and he's got zero confidence in his shot. But his dribbling is good and he's a tackler. United's budget is tight and they need to sell, no matter how little other clubs offer, they have to take. These guys are on very high wages
Maguire, Mctominay, AWB, Shaw, Sancho. Just sell for as little as possible because that's over 30 mil a season in wages saved
AWB it's not his passing it's his positioning.... And awareness off the ball....1 on 1 he's great but he gets caught ball watching
Good point. It’s easy to argue that technical footballers are good to have in an attacking sense vs low blocks but their most important asset while playing a high line is actually press resistance. And we can see AWB, Casemiro, Maguire and McTominay (although he specifically is STILL showing growth) need replacement for that reason.
Totalky agree with yoz,he played verry well the last 2 matches,he is tough & experienced!!!
Amrabat is a fine player who came to the club injured , was then played out of position , then got no game time . Now with two games back to back he found his ' position ' . We should keep him and likely should have kept Sabitzer . Good presentation .
We made the same mistake with fred, Sabitzer now its about to be amrabat
No mistake with Fred
@@zeeone4492 you most be joking
Fred was good and sabitzer was good too, what are you trying to say
The wisest comment I have met
Fred and Sabitzer would have been pivotal for us this season but we sold them and failed to replace them coz we didn't have funds. We can't do the same thing again especially now that Casemiro is leaving. Amrabat has just been adapting but we all know his A game is good
Excellent video analysis of Sofyab Amrabat. The guy has never been given a chance , thankfully now he is starting to play in position and regularly for the past two games.
I was always clamouring for him to pair with Mainoo
I've always seen his potential. He hasnt even been with us long and is already showing sparks of genius.
i agree. He had a few games initially then was benched. It affected his confidence but I always rated him as a player because we have seen it. hopefully he gets a proper run in the team an can truly showcase his talent. keep him for next season for sure!
Bro always spot on! Been missing for several weeks, was always checking ur account but got no updated video. Always insightful!
You had same thoughts as me😂, let's keep him we would rather keep him than letting casemiro stay cause he's exhausted
I agreed with u. Amrabat cover that space in the midfield, shield the defence & free Kobbie in the midfield & also to move forward & unleash his goal scoring talent. His paring with kobbie is topnotch. #keep Amrabat permanently.
Very good points. I have been fascinated with the way he plays during the World Cup and the African Cup. Seems to be a player with good ball awareness and willing to do the dirty works in defense. If he can be taken in at around 15 to 20 M, then it may be worth to take him as a backup CDM 👍🏼
Considering that the looming absolute summer clear out in Manchester United is only possible in the media. Amarbat should be kept while other critical areas gets attention.
Good players around Amarbat will make him better as well as other young talents.
Agree. Thought he should have had far more game time, especially as it became clear that Casemiro has dropped off the pace so much. He would be a great back up no. 6.
totally agree that Amrabat can be a good squad player, Great teams need good squad depth who can step up like he did the past few games
Amrabat will defend the ball at all cost but he does look clumsy at times. He kind of reminds me of eric bailly. Could make a world class tackle, saving but will make a miss pass or a mistake that could cost us afterwards. Im not really confident when's got the ball as he's not the most technical player. But maybe he can improve. We can keep him but we still need to buy another cdm in case of injury.
Right. He IS clumsy.
no man, I actually agree with you...let him (amrabat) in and make him a squad members, we need him for when we're resting some main players or when we need to increase the midfielder numbers, to make the squad deep...he can play in fa or carabao, or maybe against lower team (no disrespect)..so yeah...your thinking is align with mine!
Really informative and entertaining!! You're a absolute unit!
all marks for AO3
Yeah, we should really keep him
Once again totally agree with you we need him with him and LICHA will bring steel to the team and fighting spirit
Being waiting for your analysis 🧐 happy to always hear from you man you are a goat 🐐 of analyst
Spot on!! Thank you! 🙏🏻
The truth is hes blown hot and cold since he came but one can say the team has not been stable this season,hes been told to play in different positions and quite frankly not been given a lot of game time
I did a simular conclusion. It's a non Brainer to trigger that 20 mil buy option. Good video . Best regards Mick Ruby
Brilliant squad player
Your words make sense. It would be a decent signing for that price
Yes I agree with you he had a difficult season but he is a good player and is showing that now
He is a Good player, ,he will help us in the future
i think it mainly depends on who the manager is and what playing style we will have. the arsenal game and the newcastle game show that in a possesion based team (that holds a high line) he would be an asset, but if we play that high pressing + low defensive line then we would need a Kante reincarnate.
Good analysis as always.
Due to bad managerial decisions recently, financial fair play is now overshadows the club.
Any potential transfers in or out will have to deal with that reality.
He deserve more from us ten hag should had play him a lot but he we are,he need to improve thats a fact but he always has benched so he deseve apology.i hope we keep him he is a monster that we need in future.
Agreed. Very good analysis.
Great analysis, im an amrabat fab we need to keep him
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You are so spot on bro. My exact thoughts. We should definitely keep him
Great commentary. Earned my subscription! 🔔 and a like 👍 😅
It's the recent Man Utd way; recruit a player, play him out of position when he's not fit a couple of times, then decide he's no good.
It's funny how, when given a chance in his correct position, that even against good opposition he's done well. He's also made Mainoo better.
Given the relatively low cost to keep him as a squad player, we should totally keep him.
💯 agree. The personality and the price. Makes total sense. Perfect squad CDM.
ETH never really gave him enough time to really prove his worth. Give him and Amad more game time
Exactly i feel like games were, Ericksen played holding mid with Mainoo, we struggled quite a lot,
Exactly i feel like games were, Ericksen played holding mid with Mainoo, we struggled quite a lot,
Oh bro Gud voice and spurb analyse
Yes sofyan is good but we need him better next season I agree with your points I was impressed with his performance against Chelsea as well in the 2-1 victory
K-E-E-P ! Just what the doctor ordered ! MU need a hard running tackling beast in the middle . He doesnt even need to pass as Bruno can make himself available . Now if he do this in MU next 2 matches MU will surely hand him a contract
😂😂typical MU
@@Jrufus4469 FACT MU is the most loved and best supported soccer club in the whole wide world . NUMERU UNO IN THE WORLD YIPEE KAI YAH
U are right about ur analises we needed to keep amarabat because he is the type of player we need
I think amrabat is good but we has been under utilized by the coach this season. His first game he came in as a left full back, and he could cover both the mid field and the left full back at the same. He showed quality in the three games. But the coach still didn't trust him. How ever it's time to prove and he has done. I didn't see why you would have wan bissaka in left full back when amrabat is on bench. So I totally agree with you he will be beneficial to the club If he is retained
Supporting your country brother, I understand.
Wholly agree. Your argument is a strong one. Casemiro and Eriksen are in decline and need to leave, If you let Sofyan leave we have to find 2 or 3 new midfielders. Amrabat has not been given enough opportunities this season as ETH prefers 6/8/10 formation. In the last two matches he has went with a more defensive infield and we played well., Amrabat being key. Who would we get that is better for £21 million?
his strengths are positioning and defensive awareness. the biggest question i have for him is his pace. when attacking players or even certain defensive players are running at speed at or from him he struggles to keep up (he has had a few small injuries though so i do not know if he is still injured). i think he is good for rotation purposes when you are playing less than breakneck speed teams and when you take off an attacking midfielder to close out games. what they really need is a young athletic defensive midfielder (and a centreback or two) who can eat up space quickly to deal with the speed of epl teams.
I have not seen enough of Arabat. In the match last night there were some nervy touches that put us under pressure. I have not seen him play enough forward passes (like Carrick and Casemiro) playing at No.6. I agreed Amrabat is a very good ball winning midfielder, but we have McT who is also a very good ball winning midfielder, but lack that passing skills. I am glad we have loaned him on a year deal, like Sabitzer. I don't think we need another squad player in midfield so IMO we should save the money and not activate the deal.
Love your contents. Keep it up.
I did not think of it that way until you said it but you may be right. I like Casemiros pedigree and profile at United but we may have limited time to cash in on his value.
Amrabat had too few games to really make a mark, he was used too much as a stop-gap during a season of MANY gaps. Some of the things he did were not always good, but some of them really were, he's quite composed and he deserves a real chance, especially with the likes of Mainoo at his side.
He needs time, just like ETH, even though many want this coach out.
Yet, when you look at the time it takes to build a PROPER team (like the one from 1999, for instance), EtH should at least go to the end of his contract because he may be building a class of 24 (Garnacho, Mainoo, Amad, possibly Kwambala and Wheatley).
Absolute must keep.. Solid DM
There's a reason we all clamoured for him to come, yesterday's game was a reflection of what we expected when he walked into the team, but it's either Ten Hag didn't know how to use him, or he needed some adapting to do. Let's not make hasty decisions as a club, i think Sofyan fits the profile of the kind of player we want in our midfield, far more than a few others we are linked with. So if we can apply him properly, we can this kind of performance consistently. I would suggest another year loan
A good squad player, looking at his price he will be a good bargain
One thing that i want to ask you, please answer this
For next season possibly casemiro is leaving, in the market DM is expensive, if man utd doesnt have enough fund to rebuild the squad, can we just buy a couple of CB or maybe 3 of CB (if evans leave), and play Licha in DM position? and then we can give amrabat permanent deal for subs
i think selling deadwood, signign couple of CB and a RB (because AWB leave) should be top priority this summer
I totally agree with you, but not to loose Case yet
I agree with you on Sofian. The question do ineos agree?🤔
I would like to hear your take on Amad and some of the young players carrying the team.
Amrabat's last two games shows the need for some more games to prove himself.
Agree, as we can't replace everyone in one transfer window. Plus, Amrabat knows the system and can help new players acclimate. Kind of how I see keeping Harry for another season.
I am solidly behind you
Has one good game and Internet goes crazy. Staying fit and being available at the highest level is a skill in itself
Maybe you should play instead of him. It seems like you are Mr know it all MU has been looking for 😅
Yes, I get your point very well. But Armrabat showed up very late. If he had been performing at this level since the beginning of the season, man utd would be left with no choice than to activate the clause in his contract
EtH has found a way of using him effectively recently compared to the earlier part of the season and he's performing well so I don't see the need to let him go when we can sign him for just 21M. As you rightly said we're not gonna get a midfielder with his ability for close to that amount. Keeping him gives the room for more flexibility in the transfer market and don't forget that all the midfield players at the club struggled massively at one point or the other including Bruno and Kobbie, and also the fact that it's his first season in EPL. He'll improve next season so let's keep him.
I totally agree with you Amrabat is a Monstor UTD should keep him, from the few games ive watched him we should keed him.
You’re a legend
Oh I agree with you. Amrabat came in to what has been a poor team and ended up trying to fill in at left back in games where Utd were just not good enough as a team and becomes the fall guy merely for being as bad as the other ten guys in the same team.
He was in a European final a few months earlier playing as a holding midfielder and being one of the best players in that team, and that is what Utd bought him for but failed to give him a run at his best position which is what he needed.
Casmiero and Erikson have been great players in the past and certainly for 6 months last season, but past it for Premier League intensity and definitely the ones we need to ship out first
I'd love to buy Onana and Neves, but that isn't going to happen.
So, Amrabat and Onana would gives us incredible physical depth in that midfielder. You'd have Mainoo as our 8 also covered by Mount, and McT who can also provide back up to Fernandes.
Gives us great tactical flexibility and budget to get two CBs, an experienced back up striker, a RW, a RB...and a LB.
God there's a lot of work to do.
we shall keep him. he will be a good squad player. the matches when he performed poor this season was when he was played out of position in LB. with more game time as destroyer in DM, he will do good
I like his personality, he is an intelligent and strong player, he must stay with us, with time he will return to his high level. Just patience.
"You are Absolutely Right. Amrabat is Superb & We Need Him 100% together With Our Glorious Coach Eric Ten Hag, & Bruno Fernandez." Aluta Continua. Abdulsultan.
Does the team have enough money to replace Case and Eriksen with quality signings???? for that reason I would keep Amrabat until we resolve our midfield problems
I never got the criticism that went his way earlier in the season. He was injured, then he went into the team to cover at left-back. Not his position!
Since then he didn't really get many chances. Use him as a destroyer who can also be useful triggering counter-attacks too. For the money involved we should definitely add him to the squad.
Hey hermano, hope your doing lovely.
Do you think Amrabat has the capabilities to play as a CB?
I would prefer him there instead of Casemiro. I believe Amrabat gets motivated playing with Casemiro as he feels confident and security due to Casemiro’s world class experience.
Would love to hear your thoughts on that question! Gracias bro!
We want to Cash in on at least 10 players this summer. We want to offload Greenwood, Sancho, Mount, Bruno, VDB, Maguire, Lindelof, Williams, Pellistri & Antony etc.. ASAP & recruit at least 6 players this summer e.g. 2CB, 2CM, RW & ST!
Then we can seriously challenge for league Next season!
Keep it in the family!
Been aaying that with his price tag, we need to make it permanent but many United fans saying im crazy. He is discipline. Doesn't go running to the box leaving the midfield empty. close down opponent fast. If we don't sign him, you think Ineos have the money to get us 2 midfielders, 2 CB , a LB and a ST ? Cause 1 CDM will never be enough, we need to consider injuries and suspension.
He is a unit I agree
Yeah Idea is good I agree in it we should keep him
