Adrien Rabiot has been associated with Manchester United and Liverpool, and now it appears that Erik ten Hag is getting intimately involved.

Adrien Rabiot, a Juventus midfielder who has also been linked to Liverpool, is wanted by Manchester United, according to L’Equipe.

The 28-year-old midfielder for France’s national team’s contract with Juventus expires at the end of the current campaign.

According to L’Equipe, Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has recently spoken with Rabiot face-to-face in an effort to persuade him to sign with the club during the summer transfer window.

And Liverpool will take this as a blow.

Liverpool may suffer a setback if Erik ten Hag is involved in the Adrien Rabiot race.

The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is reportedly a target for Liverpool in the 2023 summer transfer window, according to 90min in April.

According to the report, Rabiot is being pursued by both United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Newcastle United has also been connected to Rabiot, whom Barcelona head coach Xavi said to as “a very complete player” who is “great both with and without the ball” in Sportskeeda in 2017.

It is a sign that United means business if Ten Hag is personally involved in a proposed transaction.

Additionally, Rabiot will find United very enticing if they successfully defend their UEFA Champions League title, which is predicted.

Now, of course, Liverpool are also a significant club and a worldwide brand, so if both the Merseyside club and United make bids to the 28-year-old, it would not be too simple for him to choose.

Rabiot might understand how much United genuinely want him if Ten Hag personally contacts the midfielder.
