Manchester United has removed Sofyan Amrabat from their official club website, signalling uncertainty about the midfielder's future at the club.
The Moroccan international, who spent last season on loan at Old Trafford from Fiorentina, was taken off the website on Wednesday night, 46 days after his loan deal ended.
Amrabat was signed on a season-long loan during the final moments of last summer's transfer window. United paid Fiorentina a €10 million ($11m) loan fee, with an option to buy the 27-year-old midfielder for €25 million ($27.5m).
However, due to limited opportunities throughout the season, United chose not to activate the purchase clause.

Amrabat's future in question
Despite the removal of Amrabat's profile from the club’s website, a potential return to Manchester United hasn't been completely ruled out.
The club is still in the market for a midfielder before the transfer window closes, and Amrabat remains a possible option. United's interest in Manuel Ugarte has cooled due to Paris Saint-Germain's high valuation, making Amrabat a more feasible target.
Amrabat ended his loan spell on a high note, starting in the final three Premier League games against Arsenal, Newcastle, and Brighton. He also played a key role in United's FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, delivering a standout performance at Wembley.
Currently, Amrabat has returned to Fiorentina for pre-season training, even though he delayed his return initially. He has also removed any mention of Manchester United from his Instagram bio, adding to the speculation about his next move.
United manager Erik ten Hag, who previously worked with Amrabat at FC Utrecht, was instrumental in bringing him to Old Trafford, despite some reservations from the club's hierarchy.
With the transfer deadline approaching, Manchester United's decision regarding Amrabat's future is expected soon, as they continue to assess their options in midfield.
