Manchester United set to sign Adrien Rabiot from Juventus in £15m deal to solve their midfield crisis but France international comes with a trouble-maker reputation... and Old Trafford club insist they still want No 1 target Frenkie de Jong

Manchester United are poised to sign Adrien Rabiot from Juventus in a deal worth £15million.

The France international, 27, will ease United's concerns in midfield following the faltering pursuit of new manager Erik ten Hag's No 1 summer target, Frenkie de Jong.

Rabiot has fallen out of favour at Juventus and only has one year remaining on his contract, opening the door for United to sign him.
