This is why Manchester United should KEEP Sofyan Amrabat | Player Analysis
Спорт
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.

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

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".

@danielvilliers612 amed had to be eased into the team. He had a bad long injury
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.

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 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

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.
I have always had great admiration for him and convinced that that Palace thrashing in the Cup match is epitome of Casey-Amrabat combo
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.

Yeah, Amrabat usually plays it safe
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. ❤
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.

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

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!!!
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.
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 .
Bro always spot on! Been missing for several weeks, was always checking ur account but got no updated video. Always insightful!

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
Yes I agree with you he had a difficult season but he is a good player and is showing that now
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 👍🏼
Your words make sense. It would be a decent signing for that price
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.
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.
💯 agree. The personality and the price. Makes total sense. Perfect squad CDM.
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
You had same thoughts as me😂, let's keep him we would rather keep him than letting casemiro stay cause he's exhausted
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.
He is a Good player, ,he will help us in the future
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.
Spot on!! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Agreed. Very good analysis.
I did a simular conclusion. It's a non Brainer to trigger that 20 mil buy option. Good video . Best regards Mick Ruby
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!

Great commentary. Earned my subscription! 🔔 and a like 👍 😅
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.
Supporting your country brother, I understand.
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.
U are right about ur analises we needed to keep amarabat because he is the type of player we need
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.

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 am solidly behind you
Amrabat's last two games shows the need for some more games to prove himself.

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
He is a unit I agree
I agree he got talent
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.
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 totally agree with you Amrabat is a Monstor UTD should keep him, from the few games ive watched him we should keed him.
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
The fans from comments appreciated amrabat 's performance in the two games he started
Yes, Amrabat should stay for Next season 💪🏾💪🏾... Big ups to Case and ericksen but it's time up. We need more youth+ physicality in the midfield
I agree with you.........the salaries for Ericsen and Casemiro Just too high
I think we should keep him and also use him more so he can gell into the team.. that man I saw in the world cup has a beast in him.. if he is used consistently and he gets used to the system.. we will be thanking the gods we kept him... Don't forget that was how we let sabizter leave.. what a fantastic player for dotmund this season
I would like to hear your take on Amad and some of the young players carrying the team.
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).
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
Man utd should sign sofyan for i beg the sporting directors to not let amrabat leave
I really hope the club will change their decision, Amrabat will bolster our defense better than our current midfield squad. I reckon we can get a good 3-4 years out of him.
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 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
"You are Absolutely Right. Amrabat is Superb & We Need Him 100% together With Our Glorious Coach Eric Ten Hag, & Bruno Fernandez." Aluta Continua. Abdulsultan.
I agree with you on Sofian. The question do ineos agree?🤔
