Amrabat said: “It is a huge honour to become a Manchester United player. I’ve had to be patient for this moment but I’m someone who always listens to my heart and now I am representing the club of my dreams.

Ten Hag had been keen for defensive reinforcements after losing Luke Shaw to a nasty muscular injury.
And it looks as though he could have another option at the back with Jonny Evans signing a one-year deal at Old Trafford too.
The 35-year-old is returning to the Theatre of Dreams where he previously made 198 appearances winning three Premier League titles and a Champions League.
Behind Evans, or next to him on the bench, could be new keeper Altay Bayindir, who has joined from Fenerbache in a £4.3million deal.
Ten Hag will be hoping he can utilise some of his new signings this weekend as his side face the tough challenge of a clash with Arsenal.
Man Utd will be buoyed by the news that £72million man Rasmus Hojlund is now fit and ready to face The Gunners on Sunday.
