He played just like Prime Gattuso. He showed that there’s still hope for Manchester United’s midfield. I have rumors that he might be on the bench despite his performance but I’ll make sure that he starts every match moving forward’ – This is according to Manchester United legend Paul Scholes as he praises the underrated Manchester United player after a fantastic performance against Fulham. He was a beast yesterday 😄❤️ It was amazing that he was in our team 💪❤️ He could be the greatest addition to our team this season 😁😳
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has hailed Sofyan Amrabat for his outstanding performance in the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City.
The Moroccan midfielder played in the number six role, earning the spot over an unfit Casemiro for the crucial clash. Amrabat delivered a stellar performance, completing 93% of his 27 passes, making 37 touches, winning two duels, blocking a shot, and contributing two tackles and two clearances. Impressively, he only lost possession three times during the high-stakes match.
Following United’s 2-1 triumph, Scholes took to Instagram to applaud Amrabat’s efforts, comparing the 27-year-old to a “prime Gattuso” for his dynamic and commanding display.
Amrabat, who joined United on loan from Fiorentina last summer for €10 million, initially played as a left-back under Erik ten Hag. However, recent opportunities in his preferred midfield position have allowed him to shine, especially in the final after strong showings against Arsenal and Newcastle United earlier this month.
Now, Manchester United faces a significant decision regarding Amrabat’s future, with a €20 million option to make his move permanent. With Casemiro struggling with form and fitness, Amrabat could be a long-term solution in midfield. However, managerial changes at the club may influence this decision.
If United opts not to secure Amrabat, other Premier League clubs, including Fulham and Crystal Palace, who have reportedly been monitoring his progress, might move to acquire him. His recent performances suggest he could continue to excel in England, whether at Old Trafford or elsewhere.
Ultimately, Amrabat has demonstrated his ability to perform at the highest level, and failing to retain him could be a missed opportunity for Manches
ter United.
