Adrien Rabiot believes he would be a ‘guaranteed starter’ at Manchester United, due to their lack of quality in the central midfield.
The Red Devils are closing in on a move for the midfielder after reaching an agreement in principle with Juventus. This means that only personal terms stand in the way of the Frenchman becoming Erik ten Hag’s fourth signing of the summer.
There could still be some speed bumps before an official announcement, with Rabiot’s agent - his mother - holding a reputation as a tricky negotiator. Veronique is determined to drive a hard bargain and has already demanded that talks only take place with Football Director John Murtough, rather than any intermediaries.
