The presence of Adrien Rabiot will add to the conflict in Manchester United’s changing room

DBasia.news – Reportedly, Manchester United is getting closer to being able to bring Adrien Rabiot from Juventus. Though his presence will actually add to the conflict in the changing room.

Manchester United suddenly made Rabiot a target. The move was taken after the Red Devils lost to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League’s opening match of 2022-2023.

Juventus as the owner of Juventus in fact responded well to Manchester United’s approach. The two parties have reportedly agreed a transfer fee of 15 million euros.

Even so, Manchester United’s move to target Rabiot raises questions. This can not be separated from his statistics which are no better than Scott McTominay in the last year.

Even though one of the reasons Manchester United are targeting for a new midfielder is due to the poor appearance of McTominay and Fred in the match against Brighton. However, his successor was also not convincing.

In addition, Rabiot also has problems with discipline. He clashed with a number of his own team-mates. One of the most remembered by the public was his feud with Wojciech Szczesny.

The two players almost clashed in the changing room when Juventus hosted AC Milan in September 2021. At that time, Szczesny blamed Rabiot after conceding the goal.

Rabiot was also frozen in his last days at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). That was after he refused a contract extension offer from management.

Not to mention the behavior of Rabiot’s agent and mother, Veronique. She is known to be demanding, especially when she feels like her son is not being treated fairly by the club.

Veronique also feuded with the family of Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba after the French national team was eliminated from the 2020 European Cup. He unceremoniously accused two of his son’s team-mates as the culprit of the failure.

This track record has made Rabiot’s presence a ticking time bomb in Manchester United’s changing room. Even though the harmonization of the Manchester United squad has often been under the radar in the last year.

But the threat has certainly been taken into account by Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag. He chose to gamble with Rabiot in order to strengthen his midfield.
