When can Sofyan Amrabat make his Man Utd debut, and what is his shirt number?

SOFYAN AMRABAT agreed to join Manchester United in a stunning deadline day transfer.

The move is on a season-long loan from Fiorentina, with the option to buy for £17.2m at the end of the season.

The Morocco midfielder said upon sealing the move: “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.

“I am a passionate player; I want to bring that energy to the squad, and I will put everything into every action I take for the team.

“I know exactly how Erik ten Hag likes to work and what he needs from his players. His coaching and guidance developed me so much as a player earlier in my career.”

But the midfield star will have to wait for his United debut.
