Amrabat is a combative midfielder who likes to get stuck into a tackle. His physicality and defensive ability will bring much-needed balance to the Old Trafford midfield, as Casemiro is the only defensive presence in the middle of the park for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/09\/01\/manchester-united-alvaro-fernandez-granada-loan\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Defender Set to Depart Old Trafford Following Evans and Reguilon Signings<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The former Club Brugge player can also play different central midfield roles. He can play as a lone number six, sitting just in front of the backline to provide cover, and as a box-to-box engine &#8211; who contributes on both ends of the pitch. It would be a mistake to view him only as a physical player. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Morocco international is an adept passer, comfortable receiving the ball deep from his centre-backs.
