With Juventus already signaling the green light to sell French midfielder Adrien Rabiot to Manchester United, only personal terms of agreement are yet to be negotiated, according to Sky Sports. Looking to fasten the process. United manager Erik Ten Hag has taken matters into his own hands.
As per Tuttosport (via Tuttomercatoweb), the ex-Ajax tactician himself phoned Rabiot in a bid to convince him of a place with the Red Devils. Ten Hag’s actions reportedly left the Paris Saint-Germain youth product impressed. He knows he is being pursued by one of the biggest names in club football, but there is a hunch.
Manchester United are in direct contact with Adrien Rabiot and his mother Veronique to negotiate on the personal terms – no issue with Juventus as they want to sell Rabiot this summer. ? #MUFC

It is understood that the Frenchman wants to play in the Champions League, but given the circumstances, it would be in his best interests to stay put at the Allianz Stadium. However, the prospect of a higher salary at United coupled with one year in the Europa League would not be so bad for the 27-year-old central midfielder.
He has a year left on his Juventus contract. Having been dumped out of Max Allegri’s season plans, Rabiot is seeking a fresh start elsewhere. Manchester United arrive at the correct time for him to restart his career. Rabiot has 129 caps for the Bianconeri.
