Sofyan Amrabat’s physical apparently revealed an injury, according to Manchester United.

On the day of the transfer deadline, Amrabat’s agreement to spend the 23–24 season on loan at United was announced after the Moroccan spent the majority of the summer pursuing the player.

However, it has been asserted that during Amrabat’s physical, United discovered an injury.

The team discovered a small back problem during the physical, according to The Athletic.

The issue was not deemed to be critical, therefore United made the decision to bring the midfielder to Old Trafford.

United manager Erik ten Hag gave an explanation for his choice to sign Amrabat after Sunday’s thrilling 3-1 loss to Arsenal.

In his post-game news conference, he stated: “Getting another [number] six, a holding midfielder, in the squad was already one of my desires from the beginning of the season because during the season you need that depth there.“The only player who could play there really well for us was Casemiro. While we must make concessions to others, we also have one with Sofryan Amrabat.”He can also play alongside Casemiro because he can play a little bit higher on the pitch,” continued Ten Hag. So it’s great to have him, and he fits the Premier League and Champions League extremely well, in my opinion. I believe the demands are substantial.He is incredibly active and skilled in the duels. So we are pleased that we have him at United and I think he will contribute to the high targets we set.”Amrabat expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play for Manchester United when he first joined the team. I had to wait for this time, but I always followed my heart, so here I am, representing the team of my dreams.I’m a passionate player, and I want to add that enthusiasm to the team. I’ll give my all for the team in whatever I do.
