Manchester United's midfield woes have seemingly convinced Erik ten Hag to pull the trigger on a shock move for Adrien Rabiot - three years after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deemed an approach for the Frenchman to be too risky.
United have been in the market for an elite defensive midfielder this summer and have been trying to strike a deal for Ten Hag's top transfer target, Frenkie de Jong. However, the Barcelona ace has not given any indication that he would be open to a move to Old Trafford - leaving Ten Hag's plans in limbo.
With De Jong's long-term future still unclear, United have started to consider other targets; namely Rabiot. A new report from the Manchester Evening News has outlined that United have agreed a fee with Juventus for the 27-year-old, who is now inside the final 12 months of his current deal at the Allianz Arena.
