Sofyan Amrabat, a Moroccan midfielder, joined Manchester United to cap off a successful summer for the club.

It was the culmination of a busy deadline day for the Red Devils, who also signed Jonny Evans to a new one-year contract and welcomed Sergio Reguilon inside.

Amrabat isn’t match-ready and isn’t expected to play against Arsenal on Sunday. Reguilon, though, might get his first start and will be hoping his links with Spurs pay off against the north Londoners.

 

He has a reputation for being a bulldog at the back but is calm while in possession and could benefit from playing a temporary left-sided position.

He might be the physical challenge the Arsenal star despises against Bukayo Saka as well.

Therefore, who would replace Victor Lindelof as the center back? Harry Maguire would most likely get a rare chance to start.

That could spook Man United fans, but it’s a strategy to take into account if Ten Hag thinks Reguilon isn’t quite ready to start yet.
