Man Utd signed Sofyan Amrabat on loan with an option to buy on deadline day and he is already making an impact at Old Trafford.
When Sofyan Amrabat is asked to describe what he will bring to Manchester United after making his first start for the club, he doesn't focus on a wide passing range, or an ability to read the game, to protect the defence, to create chances. There is no mention of the things usually associated with a midfielder at the highest level.
"When I make a step on the pitch, for me it’s normal that you give everything, that you fight for every metre and give your all for the team," Amrabat said deep inside the Old Trafford tunnel after his first start for the club on Tuesday night. Having selected the 27-year-old at left-back against Crystal Palace, Ten Hag described him as a "warrior" in his pre-match TV interviews, with a glint in his eye that suggested this was very much something he approved of.
Amrabat was also third for passes, with 81, and he completed 78 of them. Often these were simple exchanges during the build-up, but twice in the first half he drilled crossfield passes to Dalot and then Facundo Pellistri. He also won both tackles he attempted and won possession back on one occasion as well.
