Manchester United are aiming to add at least one new face to their engine room before the summer transfer window ends on August 30, and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano believes out-of-contract ace Adrien Rabiot would be’super keen’ on the move.
Rabiot, who is now without a club, left Serie A side Juventus this summer after his contract expired. According to CaughtOffside, Erik ten Hag’s team, along with Arsenal and Liverpool, has made contact with the former Paris Saint-Germain player.

Last season alone, the 48-cap France international, who impressed at Euro 2024, appeared in 35 games across all competitions for the Bianconeri, scoring five goals and assisting three times.
In an interview with the United Stand YouTube channel, the ever-dependable Romano suggested that the Frenchman, described as ‘world-class’ by David Trezeguet, is a player that has been discussed in the past, but also as recently as this summer, with Ten Hag and Co looking to address their porous middle of the park.
Although nothing has been finalized at the time of writing, the midfielder’s free agency status suggests that a deal might be struck very quickly if a deal for Manuel Ugarte fails. Romano said:
“Rabiot, at the moment, is a player they discussed with his mother, his agent several times years ago. But also, this summer, they were offered the possibility to go for Adrien Rabiot.
“At the moment, I’m not aware of anything really advanced on this one. I know the focus of Man United is on something else. But, with free agents sometimes, you can be very fast in the negotiations. You don’t even need to talk to clubs. So, you can agree with players in a few hours and try to close the deal.
