Sofyan Amrabat has grown used to waiting this season: first for a move to Manchester United and then for his debut.
While United pursued their main summer targets and picked them off one by one – Mason Mount followed by Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund – Amrabat waited patiently in Italy and prepared for the new season with Fiorentina.
Possible moves away from Florence came and went, most notably a switch to Liverpool. Mail Sport revealed that it was hours away when a late hitch led to Jurgen Klopp signing Ryan Gravenberch instead.
