Sofyan Amrabat reveals Paul Scholes, Roy Keane and David Beckham were among his Man United idols... with the loanee 'proud' to become the club's first Moroccan player

Sofyan Amrabat has revealed Paul Scholes, Roy Keane and David Beckham were among the Man United stars he admired while growing up, after securing a loan move to the Premier League giants.

The Red Devils paid Fiorentina £8million to lure the Moroccan international on a season-long loan last week.

Man United signed Amrabat on deadline day in a move that could be made permanent next summer for £21m.

In his first interview at the club, Amrabat revealed he had been inspired by a trio of Man United midfield stars.
