Manchester United received a fresh Sofyan Amrabat transfer blow after reports in Italy claim Fiorentina have rejected their offer for the midfielder.
Man United have been linked with Amrabat the entire summer transfer market but haven’t made an offer to Fiorentina for the Moroccan for some obvious reasons.
The Red Devils have been limited to selling at least one more midfielder, after Fred joined Fenerbahce, before they can sign a new midfielder.
With either Scott McTominay or Donny van de Beek still yet to secure their exist, Manchester United decided to make a loan offer for the Morroco international with a view to sign him at the end of his temporary transfer but reports in Italy have claimed the bid has been rejected.
According to Di Marzio, Manchester United‘s loan offer to Fiorentina for Sofyan Amrabat has been rejected.

Understand that the midfielder has stopped training with the Serie A team in a bid to force his way out of the club.
The 27-year-old believes he will be a Man United player before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Another reporter Alfredo Pedulla claimed that Nottingham Forest reached an agreement with Fiorentina to sign Amrabat for £17m plus add on fee but the midfielder rejected the move as he only wants United.
