Manchester United have certainly had plenty of tedious and protracted transfer sagas this summer, already, but more of them are getting resolved now. It appears that Sofyan Amrabat and Raphael Varane will be next.
Both the Mason Greenwood and the Jadon Sancho situations are starting to reach resolution now.

Regarding both Amrabat and Varane, we should have answers on both next week. Let’s start with Varane, who officially left the club weeks ago, as a free agent.
The only issue here now is where does he go next, and he’s been linked with Como, a club recently promoted to Serie A, for a couple weeks now.
From what Fabrizio Romano tweeted there, it should be “here we go” time soon for the French central defender.
Shifting gears to Amrabat, his loan deal expired, which means he now goes back to Fiorentina.
However, that isn’t what he wants, as he’d rather stick with United.
According to The People’s Person, citing reports in Italian media, the club are considering another loan deal for the Moroccan midfielder.
They do not want to buy him outright however.
??? Understand Manchester United are planning to make decision on Sofyan Amrabat next week.
They’ve still the option to buy Amrabat available but the internal decision will be made soon, next week.
