Manchester United have reportedly struck an agreement to sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot in this summer’s transfer window, according to a claim from Sky Sports.
United’s hunt for a new midfield signing to bolster the options at the disposal of Eric ten Hag failed to hit the ground with their long-standing pursuit of Barcelona maestro Frenkie de Jong rebuffed time and again by the player.

Ten Hag has moved on swiftly it seems following recent rumours of De Jong’s interest in signing for Chelsea this summer with the United head coach moving in for the French midfielder Adrien Rabiot after a deal was agreed upon with the Juventus camp.
Rabiot has entered the final year of his contract in Turin and has fallen out of favour at the Serie A heavyweights which could convince him on making the move to Old Trafford as United open talks with him on personal terms.
Despite agreeing on an €8 5million fee with Barcelona last month for bringing in De Jong, United’s hopes of signing the Holland international were dealt a severe blow with the likes of Chelsea and Bayern Munich joining the chase.
