Man Utd v Wrexham: Match Preview
Manchester United could delay a long-expected bid for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund to accelerate their interest in Sofyan Amrabat. The Fiorentina midfielder is set to be absent for an upcoming pre-season friendly, despite initial plans of involvement, according to reports.

Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso is said to have granted Amrabat's transfer request after blocking a departure in January.
The Morroco international dazzled during the winter World Cup in Qatar, attracting heavyweight interest.
But Corriere claim he has rejected an approach from Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his midfield options further after Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai's arrivals.
Instead, he has made it clear that his heart is set on a move to M16, where Ten Hag has made it his mission to revamp the Old Trafford engine room in his first year at the helm.
United spent most of the 2022 summer chasing a deal for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, agreeing a fee before the player blocked an exit.
Christian Eriksen joined on a free transfer before Casemiro's £70m move from Real Madrid, a worthy De Jong alternative that helped Ten Hag enjoy a successful start in England.
In January, Marcel Sabitzer joined on a short loan to help cover for the injured Eriksen, but he hasn't stayed permanently. Mason Mount's £60m switch from Chelsea filled that void.
And with Fred expected to join the wave of United exits in the coming weeks, Amrabat is the red-hot favourite to replace him.
