'One of the most important people in my career': Sofyan Amrabat reveals details about his bond with Erik ten Hag.

Sofyan Amrabat has a special bond with Erik ten Hag, and he's thrilled to be back with him at Old Trafford.

Amrabat, who arrived at Manchester United on loan from Fiorentina on deadline day, has a history with Ten Hag. He began his career in Utrecht's academy when Ten Hag was the boss, playing 50 times for the first team. Amrabat credits Ten Hag as a crucial figure in his development

"It was very important because I was very young. I was 18, 19-years-old and he gave me the chance to play in the first team with Utrecht. We had a fantastic time, a really good season. I learned a lot from him so maybe he's one of the most important people in my career for now."

"It's fantastic because I think Erik ten Hag is a coach who will push always to the limit. He's hungry. He wants to win. He's a winner and I like that. I think I'm also similar, I'm also a winner. I want to win every day so it's a good match."

Amrabat is excited about the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Manchester United's legendary midfielders from the past as he gets ready for his debut with the Red Devils.

"I think United had so many fantastic players and young midfielders. "So, in general, I look more to the midfielders like Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, David Beckham. But there were so many big players. Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Louis Saha, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo. I can go on for one hour to say names."

"Of course my brother and I spoke about it. He told me that he thinks that I have to go to the Premier League, it is the strongest league in the world so now I'm here, I can't wait."
