Amrabat should give Erik ten Hag's team more control in big games but may not contribute incisively when facing a low block
is. Ten Hag spoke of building a “new midfield” during pre-season. “We can, we have to step up there, we have to improve,” he said.
Now 27, he has frequently had injury niggles and needed injections at the World Cup to get him through games — “I played like crazy,” he said. That could potentially be a problem if he were to stay at United for a longer period.to assess his style over the past four seasons in Italy, Amrabat’s in-possession tendencies have remained consistent. Above-average ratings for link-up passing and ball retention ability underline his safe, short passing.
Here he is fouling Emerson near the touchline in that Conference League final. Amrabat is tenacious and energetic, more than capable physically of covering for overcommitted full-backs, but his tackles can be overzealous. As the number above suggests, he gets cautioned regularly. The upshot of this deal is that United are getting themselves a vastly experienced midfielder. Amrabat has played in two World Cups and an Africa Cup of Nations, winning 49 senior caps. Twice a cup finalist with Fiorentina last season, too.The downside is that he is incredibly specific as a midfielder. This is not a player who will thrive in a box-to-box role and in games against low-block opponents he is unlikely to be able to contribute incisively.
