‘He’s one of the most important people in my career for now’ – Manchester United star admits

Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has opened up on the special relationship he has with Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag.

Amrabat began his career in Utrecht’s academy when Ten Hag was the boss, playing 50 times for the first team.

Amrabat said: “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.”
