Manchester United have rekindled their interest in landing Juventus’ highly sought-after midfielder Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer
Manchester United’s ambition to sign midfielder Adrien Rabiot came crashing down last summer due to financial constraints. But this has hardly done enough to quell Manchester United’s interest in Rabiot. It is now learned that Manchester United officials have once again moved to acquire the services of the Juventus midfielder.
A report published by L’Equipe claims that Rabiot has once again found himself on Manchester United’s radar. With Rabiot’s current Juventus contract expiring this summer, the former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder is expected to become a highly sought-after name in the summer transfer window. It is being widely reported that Manchester United head coach Erik ten Haag has already held talks with Rabiot regarding a summer transfer move for the France international.
With 11 goals and four assists in all competitions, Adrien Rabiot is enjoying arguably his best spell at Juventus this season. In Serie A, he has registered eight goals and three assists so far.

The 28-year-old joined the Italian outfit in 2019 and has so far scored 17 goals in 173 appearances for the Bianconeri. Rabiot joined Juventus from PSG in July 2019. In international football, he has three goals to his name after featuring in 37 games for Les Bleus.
Adrien Rabiot has expressed his desire to play in the Premier League, much to the delight of Manchester United fans. Rabiot had mentioned that he wanted to develop in England’s top flight league.
I have always said that I want to play in England in my career. I still have that wish. I want to develop in the Premier League. I don’t have a Premier League team in mind right now. I haven’t picked a team or anything. This is a normal thing. Prior to this, Rabiot spent a few months in Manchester City’s academy in 2008.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have the likes of Casemiro, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Christian Eriksen in midfield. They are yet to make a decision on a loan move for Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer. The acquisition of Adrien Rabiot will definitely help Erik ten Haag strengthen the midfield area. In their next assignment, the Old Trafford-based outfit will face Bournemouth on May 20.
