Manchester United target Sofyan Amrabat is training alone at Fiorentina as he awaits a move away.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have ruled out a move for the Morocco midfielder, 27, leaving United in pole position to sign him.<\/p>\n
However, the Old Trafford club need to sell players to raise funds first with time running out before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
Amrabat has been excluded from Fiorentina’s 24-man squad for Thursday’s Europa Conference League play-off, first leg fixture away to Rapid Vienna.<\/p>\n
Although Amrabat was an unused substitute in their 4-1 Serie A win at Genoa on Saturday, he has been made to train away from the rest of Vincenzo Italiano’s squad.<\/p>\n

United are in urgent need of a defensive midfielder to help out Casemiro after they were exposed in that area of the pitch in their 1-0 win over Wolves and 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n
Amrabat, valued at around \u00a330million, has emerged as their top target ahead of Everton’s Amadou Onana.<\/p>\n
United have already spent \u00a372m on striker Rasmus Hojlund, \u00a355m on midfielder Mason Mount and \u00a343.8m on goalkeeper Andre Onana this summer.<\/p>\n
But Anthony Elanga, Fred and Alex Telles are the only senior players offloaded for a fee so far and further outgoings are needed to remain within Financial Fair Play [FFP] limits and enable further signings.<\/p>\n
Amrabat rose to prominence during the Qatar World Cup, anchoring Morocco’s midfield as they went on a gutsy run to the semi-finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, ex-United man Louis Saha spoke of his admiration for the midfielder with a rising stock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told Betfred: ‘Amrabat is a player that I really like and he\u2019s got a great intensity level that I don\u2019t believe is matched. It would be exciting to see him at Manchester United and he would improve the overall balance of the squad.’<\/p>\n
