Amrabat made 30 appearances for Erik ten Hag's team. He consistently made the team early on but was in and out of the team as the season progressed.
He started 17 matches and didn't start a single one in five months until the penultimate weekend of the league season.
According to the Manchester Evening News (MEN) the 27-year-old Morocco international is keen to extend his stay at the club but is also open to signing for another Premier League side.
The report adds that the Red Devils could sign the midfielder for around €20million as part of their initial agreement.

Romano adds that the English giants are willing to discuss new terms if they want to sign the midfielder.
