Sofyan Amrabat explains how Ten Hag was influential behind Man United move.
The Moroccan midfielder finally made his deadline-day move to Old Trafford on loan with an option to make the deal permanent next summer.
The 27-year-old midfielder played under Erik Ten Hag at Utrecht in the Eredivisie and a reunion was on the cards.
Man United are understood to have paid £8.5m to sign the midfielder on loan and pay an extra £17.1m in order to sign him permanently.
Amrabat has 49 caps for his country and played every minute of his country’s run to the semi-final of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Amrabat said: “It is a huge honour to become a Manchester United player. I’ve had to be patient for this moment but I’m someone who always listens to my heart and now I am representing the club of my dreams.
“I know exactly how Erik ten Hag likes to work and what he needs from his players.
“His coaching and guidance developed me so much as a player earlier in my career; I know that he will help to bring out the best of my abilities so that I can help the group to be successful this season.”
