With reports suggesting Manchester United are not planning to keep Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat beyond June, here are some more African stars who failed to impress at their new clubs in 2023/24!
Sofyan Amrabat - Manchester United
Having exploded on to the scene at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Morocco international was one of the most highly sought-after stars after the tournament. A number of top clubs were reportedly interested in his signature, including AC Milan, FC Barcelona, and Manchester United, but it would be the latter who secured his services on a season-long loan deal, which included an option to buy, at the beginning of 2023/24. However, the 27-year-old has fallen rather short of expectations at Old Trafford, with reports now suggesting that United plan to cut ties with the player at the end of the campaign rather than sign him on a permanent deal from Fiorentina. According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Milan are now monitoring the situation with a potential move in mind. Amrabat ranks 17th in the United squad in terms of minutes played this season, and has zero goal involvements, as per Transfermarkt.
