I haven’t done such to anybody before but Erik ten Hag does this to everyone…The FA should do something about it urgently”: Pep Guardiola angered by Man United over an agreement to sign his major transfer target as he urged FA to look into the matter urgently

Manchester United are actively pursuing an agreement with French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is currently a free agent following his departure from Juventus at the conclusion of his contract this summer.Sources closely connected to the negotiations have revealed to CaughtOffside that Manchester United has engaged in discussions with Rabiot and his representative, his mother. However, other prominent clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Galatasaray have also expressed interest in securing the midfielder’s services.

Despite the competition, it is increasingly believed that Manchester United is in the strongest position to sign Rabiot. The discussions have reportedly been positive, and there is growing optimism among all parties involved that a deal can be finalized soon.Rabiot has long harbored a desire to play in the Premier League, and Manchester United is working to offer him a contract worth approximately €8-9 million per year, along with a signing bonus.

Given Manchester United’s struggles last season, particularly with inconsistent performances from midfielders like Casemiro, Sofyan Amrabat, and Scott McTominay, signing Rabiot is seen as a strategic move to strengthen their midfield without incurring high costs.

The 29-year-old would bring substantial experience to Erik ten Hag’s squad, having secured multiple titles with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, and having triumphed in the Nations League with the French national team, with whom he also reached a World Cup final.

In the event that the Rabiot deal does not come to fruition, Manchester United is also considering other options in midfield. One such alternative is Youssouf Fofana, who has been closely monitored by the club. However, AC Milan currently appears to be leading the chase for Fofana, having already agreed on personal terms. Milan is awaiting the completion of player sales, such as Adli and/or Bennacer, before making a new offer to Monaco.

In other transfer news, Jadon Sancho’s potential move from Manchester United to Paris Saint-Germain is progressing well. However, Juventus is also making last-minute efforts to sell Federico Chiesa to create space for Sancho. Chiesa, on the other hand, is biding his time to find the right opportunity before making a final decision on his departure.Manchester United’s pursuit of Adrien Rabiot appears to be progressing positively, with the club reportedly in discussions to secure the French midfielder on a free transfer. Rabiot, who recently left Juventus after his contract expired, is being offered a contract worth around €8-9 million per year, including a signing bonus. Manchester United is seen as a leading contender for his signature, despite interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Galatasaray.

Rabiot’s potential signing is viewed as a strategic move to bolster United’s midfield, addressing issues from last season where players like Casemiro, Sofyan Amrabat, and Scott McTominay had inconsistent performances. Rabiot, with his experience and success at clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, and international achievements with France, would bring a wealth of experience to Erik ten Hag’s squad.

In case the deal with Rabiot does not materialize, Manchester United is also considering other midfield options, including Youssouf Fofana. However, AC Milan is currently leading the race for Fofana, having agreed on personal terms with the player.

Additionally, Jadon Sancho’s potential transfer to Paris Saint-Germain is progressing, with Juventus also expressing interest in bringing Sancho back to the club. Juventus is reportedly trying to create space for Sancho by selling Federico Chiesa, who is waiting for the right opportunity before making a decision on his future.
