Who knew it was just agent driven media hype in Italy!?
Keep in mind that clubs can also use these agents and other intermediaries to further their interest, which allows them to say that they aren't particularly interested or haven't done anything despite the intermediaries working on their behalf. This way, they can avoid potential issues in the earlier stages of the negotiations.
 
Reminds me of the SMS links that were completely driven by Lazio and his agent. They're just trying to drum up interest, it's quite telling really that we're seemingly not interested and yet, neither is anybody else.
Lots of reports say we are interested. So we seemingly are interested. We just haven’t a pot to piss in.

Tend to agree.

Even the random second choice GK was done smoothly.

Many source who have been right about the Hojlund and Onana news is reporting it including Fabrizio. The British media is just clueless on this one or is fed wrong information by the club purposefully.
 
There's clearly something happening with the player and the team for him to train separately. It's maybe just hard line tactics for a contract extension from his agent while also shopping around for a new club.
 
This is another one of those nonsense rumours that has been pushed by foreign media and the players agent. As much chance of him joining United as Gaitan

Romano and Telegraph, both Tier 1, convinced there is interest from us. Doesn’t mean we’ll sign him but it’s not without any foundation whatsoever.
 
feels to me as though there’s too much noise about us and him for there not to be something concrete, I think he’ll end up here personally.
 
Very surprised that other clubs have not been in for him. That makes me think that they all know he only wants to sign for United and we’re waiting for the last moment to get the price down.
 
We are clearly not in for him. This transfer appears very straight forward and we never made a move.

I suppose it would be very straightforward if we had any money. Loads of noise that we are interested - specifically in this guy, not a huge random list of players, just him - and all the noise comes with the caveat that we need to move players on first. So I would say we clearly are in for him. We might not be able to get him, I’ll give you that.
 
Loads of smoke,no fire. Shades of gaitan in this. There is no reason this wouldn't have been done after Fred and elanga going. Easily enough money there to cover this if there was any truth in it. Be shocked if we sign more than a 2nd keeper.
 
All of social media has decided he is the answer to all our problems.

Fans need to manage their expectations of Amrabat if we do get this over the line.
 
Do we need to get a Go Fund me started to get this guy to the club?

The club may as well be walking around with a begging bowl considering how much they have been pleading poverty recently

Why do you want him so bad? Because of a couple of WC matches? I refuse to believe we have so many Fiorentina watchers here. Really don't get the interest on here. He's a 27 year old international. He's not a hidden gem.

I don’t know where you get this nonsense.

A proportion of people think he might be a worthwhile signing to improve the squad and compete for a place in the midfield. No-one is expecting too much more than that and, frankly, half the people on here have decided he’s shit (relatively).

He had a great world cup but he is not really that great of a player. His defensive stats are woeful. He is a decent passer and thats about it.
 
Skysports said that they believe most of this is noise coming from the Italian club, the Italian media and his agents.

I like him but I’m not sure there is genuine interest. I think we’ll lose Maguire, so we’d have to find a centre back and apparently we’ve sounded out left backs.

Yeah it's certainly looking like that was the case,however if we don't get a midfielder then Casemiro will end up burnt out quickly
 
Considering how low the transfer fee is and that he's unlikely to be on big wages at Fiorentina, I get the feeling that there's no serious interest in him.

If he didn't have some good games at the world cup I doubt there'd be any clamour to sign him either.

Luckily there’s nothing to manage other than the meltdowns because we won’t be signing him.
