Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a move for PSG academy graduate Adrien Rabiot, who has recently become a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Juventus. Despite the window officially shutting, Premier League clubs are still able to bolster their squads by signing free agents, and Rabiot's availability has captured the attention of several top teams.

Rabiot, a French international and former Paris Saint-Germain star, is now at the centre of a transfer saga involving multiple clubs. Recent reports indicate that his agent has been actively seeking new opportunities for the midfielder, reaching out to clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. However, it now appears that Manchester United are leading the chase for Rabiot’s signature.

Outlets such as TEAMtalk and CaughtOffside suggest that Manchester United, alongside Newcastle United, are seriously considering a move for the 29-year-old. Although the club's new management is typically inclined towards signing younger players, they may make an exception for Rabiot due to his experience and quality.

Internal discussions are reportedly ongoing at Old Trafford about the possibility of bringing Rabiot into their squad. The Frenchman’s desire to play in the Premier League adds an extra layer of motivation, making him a compelling option for the Red Devils as they look to enhance their midfield.

Contrastingly, Tottenham Hotspur, who were initially mentioned as potential suitors, seem unlikely to pursue Rabiot. Under manager Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have shown a preference for younger talents and are not inclined towards bringing in players who could potentially disrupt the harmony of the dressing room. Postecoglou’s approach appears to favour giving more game time to midfielders such as Archie Gray, rather than signing high-profile but potentially disruptive figures like Rabiot.

The outcome of these discussions could see Rabiot making a significant move to one of England’s top clubs, potentially influencing both the remainder of this season and future transfer windows. Let's wait and see what happens.
