Dean Jones, a writer, hinted that Sofyan Amrabat would be added to the lineup for Manchester United’s match against Burnley in an interview with GIVEMESPORT. This would replace a crucial first-team regular.
Erik ten Hag has had a difficult start to the season, and the Dutch manager will be hoping for a victory this weekend to turn things around for his team.
Sofyan Amrabat is the most recent injury update for Manchester United.
Given United’s dismal season debut, it’s challenging to find any good news for ten Hag and the team right now. The Red Devils have had a difficult time both on and off the field as they are now on a three-game losing streak. The 20-time English champions are currently in a bit of a slump due to scandals and an injury issue, and United fans undoubtedly want it to stop as quickly as possible.
Amrabat was one of the players added this season to assist improve the calibre of United’s roster. United retain a £22 million option to purchase the Moroccan international’s contract in addition to his initial loan from Serie A club Fiorentina. Amrabat was a top target for ten Hag this summer, but since suffering an injury during the September international break, he has failed to play for Greater Manchester.
But now that the midfielder is back in the gym, there’s a chance he’ll be making his United debut this weekend.

What has Dean Jones said about Manchester United and Sofyan Amrabat?
According to journalist Jones, Amrabat’s arrival in United’s starting lineup might be just what the Red Devils need to win this weekend. The dependable reporter has asked ten Hag to utilise the midfield anchor on Saturday night, saying it will help him get the most out of those around him:
Amrabat has to go into the United line-up – this team is in desperate need of a new identity and even if he’s not 100 per cent fully match fit he would bring a new character as well as an improvement of midfield energy and class to the side.
“Against Bayern Munich, their best two players were Sergio Reguilon and Rasmus Hojlund, new signings, and you hope that these sorts of players are going to bring a freshness because they are not yet worn down by the constant negative connotations that come with being involved in this club.
“Christian Eriksen was poor in the Champions League and Casemiro is only going to improve with someone like Amrabat alongside him. It sounds like he’s pretty much fit now and ten Hag is going to find the temptation to start him very difficult to ignore.”
Who will play Manchester United this weekend?
Burnley will play host to United on Saturday at 8:00 p.m., a less-watched time slot. Ten Hag is anxious for United to defeat the newly promoted team and earn three points. Burnley will be eager to avenge their League Cup victory against Vincent Kompany’s team from last season and keep heaping agony on ten Hag’s shoulders.
If United suffered another loss, it would be difficult for ten Hag to bounce back, and some have said that his career would even be in jeopardy.
