Manchester United’s hopes of luring Adrien Rabiot to Old Trafford on a free transfer have received a boost.
Rabiot, who almost joined United in 2022, is available as a free agent after leaving Juventus and is looking to find a new club. And he has rejected offers to join Galatasaray and the Saudi Pro League, improving United’s chances of landing the French international midfielder.
It’s understood United bosses will hold talks with Rabiot, 29, as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his midfield options ahead of what will prove to be a long and demanding season.

United, meanwhile, have taken another step towards building a new 100,000 stadium after entering into a strategic partnership to maximise the regeneration opportunities around Old Trafford.
The English giants have teamed up with Trafford Council and Greater Manchester Combined Authority to work out how a world class stadium could help create a residential, sports, leisure, business and entertainment campus around the Wharfeside area.

An independent director and advisory team will be appointed to oversee the work. The teams findings will then be passed on to the recommendations of a task force being led by Lord Sebastian Coe.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said: “Greater Manchester has a strong claim to be the biggest footballing city-region on the planet.
“Few places come close to matching our heritage and the global impact of our clubs and our culture. The future of Old Trafford is the next chapter of that story, and we have a chance now to make sure it’s written properly.”
