The chances of Manchester United landing Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is in doubt amid growing frustration from the player's representatives.
The 27-year-old appeared to be a top target for Erik ten Hag's side who have been in the market for further midfield reinforcements but have been constrained by their need to raise funds through players sales.
Meanwhile, Amrabat has been absent from Fiorentina's opening fixtures and has even been training alone while he awaits a move to Old Trafford.
But according to The Telegraph, the glacial pace of United's dealings - and the looming transfer deadline - have led to frustration among the Moroccan international's camp, who are now considering their options.
Interest in the player has also emerged from LaLiga side Atletico Madrid, though the midfielder's preference is believed to be a move to the Premier League.
Premier League rivals Liverpool are also in the market for a combative midfielder and had been linked with Amrabat earlier in the window and this development could leave the door open for the Reds to pounce.
United are in urgent need of a defensive midfielder to help out Casemiro after his shaky start to the campaign, but their outlay of £170million on Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Andre Onana has restricted further recruitment.
Anthony Elanga, Fred and Alex Telles are the only senior players offloaded for a fee so far and further outgoings are needed to remain within Financial Fair Play [FFP] limits and enable further signings.
The injuries to left-backs Luke Shaw, who is set for an extended period of time on the sidelines with a muscle injury, and Tyrell Malacia have made the short term acquisition of a replacement a priority.
The club have submitted a £2.5m loan bid for Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella and have entered talks with the Blues who are looking for a £5m loan fee for their Spanish defender.

I don't see the reason why liverpool is not going for this player, we need a defensive midfielder and he is available so why don't place a bid,kalvin Phillips was available in 2021 and we didn't buy him now we're chasing him,what sense does all these types of transfer make?

pls give us news from serious club's not United, tired of their old news that will not yield results, the most dull and confused club in the premier league presently, shame
To prove that our players are only hiped and are jokers when it comes to playing football, no one wants to buy them bcz they earn big salaries for nothing, not bcz they are good on the pitch but just bcz they are in a big football club! How can the whole of MaU fail to sale any player at 60M and above, we are a joke!!

We had an offer of 30 million for Maguire we turned it down, Maguire who is worth 10 million at most great deal, dean Henderson is literally joining crystal palace there's money there for a signing, Mctominay should be used in a swap deal for gravenberch or whatever his name is, Bailly has offers won't be hard to get rid of, Dalot be easy to sell ac Milan where looking for him.
Maguire is having issues with Man U because of bonuses or clause in his deal. I think he’s asking for 11 to 15m pounds to leave, but Man U isn’t ready to pay him, so maybe he better run down is contract. Just like Mbappe not wanting to leave PSG this summer because of his bonuses. Man U is trying to run away from FFP, because they are clamping on you guys and you got to be careful.
