FKFPL: Pulse Sports Kenya's Team of the Season - Mwangi, Rupia, Ochieng, Gad, and Hassan make the squad
Revealing which players made Pulse Sports Kenya's 2022/2023 team of the season.
The Red Devils have already spent £55 million on Mason Mount, and they are about to sign Andre Onana from Inter Milan in a deal worth £43m plus add-ons.
This would take their spending spree to £98m. With a pre-sales budget of only £120m, United may need to offload players before they can purchase a marquee striker.
A holding midfielder may not be a top priority for United for now, as the goalkeeping and striking departments may need more urgent addressing.
With this in mind, Liverpool could beat United to the signing of Amrabat, who is valued at £26m.
Amrabat has a strong relationship with manager Erik ten Hag after his senior debut under him at Utrecht. It remains to be seen whether the Dutchman can urge him to stay patient.
