According to Corriere dello Sport, Sofyan Amrabat has rejected a move to Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce as the Moroccan waits for Manchester United. Amrabat spent the 2024-24 season on loan at Old Trafford from Fiorentina.

However, United opted against making his move permanent. The Moroccan has reportedly informed Fiorentina that he doesn't intend to return. Amrabat was also on Fenerbahce's radar but as per the aforementioned source, has turned down the chance to join Fenerbahce.

Manchester United, meanwhile, struggled last season and Casemiro's performances were far from his best. The Brazilian has been linked with a summer move away from the club.

Manuel Ugarte, meanwhile, is on the Red Devils' radar but United are reluctant to match Paris Saint-Germain's valuation of £59 million. As a result, Amrabat is waiting for United to come for him.

The Moroccan defensive midfielder played 30 matches for Erik ten Hag's side last season. While his performances were often criticized, Amrabat impressed in the FA Cup final, helping United gain a 2-1 win against Manchester City.

Former Manchester United winger Nani joins new club

Former Manchester United winger Nani has joined Portuguese side CF Estrela. Nani played for the Red Devils between 2007 and 2014, scoring 41 goals and providing 70 assists in 230 appearances.

After leaving United at the start of the 2014-15 season, Nani returned to boyhood club Sporting CP. He has since played for clubs across the globe, including Fenerbahce, Valencia, Lazio, Orlando, Venezia, Melbourne, and Adana Demirspor.

Nani is now back in Portuguese football with Estrela. The 37-year-old has also made 112 appearances for Portugal's national team, scoring 24 goals and providing 24 assists.

In his prime, Nani was one of the most skillful wingers in world football, lighting up the Premier League during his time at Old Trafford. Nani also played an important role in Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph.
