have held initial talks to sign Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
The Morocco star has been heavily linked with an exit from the Serie A club following his sensational performances for his country at the last winter.
knows Amrabat from the time the duo spent together at FC Utretcht and the Dutchman is keen to bolster his midfield, even after the £55m acquisition of ace Mason Mount.
Fred, 29, has recently changed agents in order to orchestrate an exit from the Theatre of Dreams.
The Brazilian fell down the pecking order during the second half of last season and he has just a year left on his deal at the club.
Fulham have showed interest in Fred, who is valued at £20m by the Red Devils.
United are currently focused on signing Andre Onana and Ten Hag will then switch his attention to signing a striker once the Cameroonian is through the door.
Further deals will depend on departures but Sky Sports say talks have taken place between United and Fiorentina concerning Amrabat.
United have registered their interest and are closely monitoring the midfielder, especially as Bayern Munich hold an interest in the 26-year-old.
It’s likely that any move for Ambrabat will have to wait until the final stages of the window, once United raise money through player sales.
Ten Hag has just £120m to spend this summer and the likes of Dean Henderson, Fred, Alex Telles, Eric Bailly, Donny van de Beek and Anthony Elanga are available for transfer.
