Ten Hag also spent time as McClaren's No 2 in the Netherlands. However, economic issues have not gone away and the matter of de Jong's deferred wages remains unresolved.

Man United have agreed a deal in principle with Juventus to strengthen their midfield options with the signing of Adrien Rabiot.

It seems a very risky idea at the moment, but it could be something worth experimenting with in time. Deploying a 4-1-4-1 system is something that United might be prepared to trial in the future, once they have fully adapted to Ten Hag's methods, even if it is too soon to try it now. But if United secure the control in matches they are working towards securing, they might be able to risk it against certain opponents. Rabiot would be capable of getting on the ball from that position and dictate games from deep, even though Fred's energy and athleticism might mean that he is tasked with pushing further forward when United are in possession, opposed to the French international. Rabiot could also play in a 4-2-3-1 system, occupying one of the two defensive-midfield roles. The Manchester Evening News understands that United, who were beaten 2-1 by Brighton on Sunday, have reached an agreement with Juventus to bring the France international to the club, but now face the challenge of negotiating personal terms.

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Juventus regarding the purchase of French midfielder Adrien Rabiot for an initial £15m.

United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, still retains hope of signing his principal midfield target, Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, despite mixed signals emanating from the Spanish club regarding a sale of the Netherlands playmaker. United, who began their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 home defeat against Brighton on Sunday, are also targeting Bologna’s Marko Arnautovic as a possible signing to help bolster the club’s depleted attacking options. He has won five Ligue 1 titles and one in Serie A but has a record of uneven discipline, including being fined for lateness.

Manchester United are trying to force through some late-window transfers, with Adrien Rabiot among their targets. Why do they want the Juventus midfielder?

His injury record is also commendable: 2018-19, when he was suspended for practically half the campaign, was the only one of the past nine seasons in which he played fewer than 21 league matches. Andrea Pirlo then took over despite coaching experience amounting to about a week in charge of the youth team, and Coppa success could not make up for finishing fourth as Inter Milan ran away with the Scudetto. Rabiot himself claimed some of the players "didn't understand" Pirlo's plans. He is also versatile, having played as part of a deep-lying pivot, on the left of a central trio and even as an emergency left-wing-back for France, most recently in Euro 2020. Personal terms must now be agreed with the player and his mother. He was suspended by the club; sporting director Antero Henrique described his "attitude and lack of professionalism" as "unacceptable". In July, eight months after his last PSG appearance, Rabiot signed for Juventus on a free transfer. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi had seen a future PSG captain in the young midfielder, a homegrown figurehead to lead a team of glitzy star signings, but the Rabiots were becoming disruptive. By January 2019, he was being forced to train with the reserves while his contract ran down. In 2015, when the midfielder was dropped for the Coupe de France final after arriving late, she told Canal Supporters that she would be seeking a transfer for her son so he could have more playing time ahead of Euro 2016. When Didier Deschamps named Rabiot on the standby list for the 2018 World Cup, Rabiot told the coach he would not "be able to follow the training programme" and he watched from home as Les Bleus won the tournament. After that demoralising 2-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, it seems attitudes have changed at United. Before the match had even finished, talk had surfaced of an offer for Bologna's Marko Arnautovic, Ten Hag having had to start without a striker due to Anthony Martial's injury and Cristiano Ronaldo's lack of fitness. Carlo Ancelotti fast-tracked him into the senior set-up, handing Rabiot his Ligue 1 debut as a 17-year-old against Bordeaux in August 2012.

"He can do a bit of everything and it'll be interesting to see how Erik ten Hag uses him. He plays with intensity as is a bit of a character and somebody who can break up play. "You look at it, and think, 'What's the plan here? Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane said United's midfielders lacked "decision-making" and "football intelligence" as he tore into McFred. "They are not good enough," Keane told Sky Sports. "They won't get Manchester United back competing at the top. Rabiot has played both of these roles with Juventus, PSG and France, but struggled to nail down his best position. Their inability to progress the ball from deep made for frustrating viewing and gave Brighton plenty of encouragement to press. He left in controversial circumstances in 2019 after being frozen out by the club for failing to agree a new contract. The move comes from left-field after a summer-long pursuit of Barcelona midfielder De Jong, and has been met with scepticism by supporters. Here, Sky Sports takes a look at why they've opted to move for the polarising Frenchman... The midfielder made 227 appearances for PSG, scoring 24 goals. Rabiot is now being lined up to remedy those problems. Never far behind is his mother and agent, Veronique.
