It is fair to say that Juventus will not be sad to see Adrien Rabiot leave should his move to Manchester United go through.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have agreed a \u00a315million deal for the midfielder and while personal terms still need to be negotiated with his agent and mother, the transfer is expected to be completed in the coming days.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Rabiot is just one of several failed signings made by Tottenham director of football Fabio Paratici when he was at the helm of Juventus.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Manchester United have agreed a \u00a315million deal for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 27-year-old has scored six goals in 127 appearances for the Old Lady and has shown that he is not good enough for the very highest level.<\/p>\n

In other words, Erik ten Hag is set to bring one of Juventus’ most unpopular players to the Premier League and save the Serie A side around \u00a36million per year in wages in the process.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Why Ten Hag wants to sign Rabiot is anyone’s guess. He can play on the wing but is not comfortable there, struggles to get in behind defences and his goal output is underwhelming.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman is perhaps better suited to playing in a two-man central midfield partnership. He is a player similar to Emmanuel Petit but offers less charisma and leadership qualities<\/p>\n

\n

It is unclear why Erik ten Hag wants to sign a player who has struggled so badly in Serie A<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rabiot’s mother – Veronique – has a reputation for being a tough negotiator on her son’s behalf<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There was a sense of relief at PSG when Rabiot was let go for free three years ago because he did not fit in the team tactically and he did not fit in the squad as a personality.<\/p>\n

His entourage also presented further unwanted issues.\u00a0This is in part due to the reputation that has been bestowed upon his mother, Veronique, who has clashed with figures within the game during her son’s career.<\/p>\n

Veronique represents Rabiot and is said to have clashed with the star’s teammates and sporting directors as well as having demanded to meet managers and attend training sessions to ensure her son was being treated and tended to in the right way.<\/p>\n

She has previously demanded to go on a pre-season tour when her son signed his first pro forms at PSG while she was partly responsible for his dropping to the reserves at the same club over wage demands.<\/p>\n

She would claim over that incident that her son was being held ‘hostage’ by the club and that amounted to him soon being in ‘prison’ being fed only ‘bread and water’.<\/p>\n

Juventus signed him to become a problem for the opponents but over recent months he has become a technical, tactical and financial problem for the Italian club, who are in the process of reviewing their budget.<\/p>\n

Rabiot has become a tactical and financial problem for Juve managers such as Max Allegri<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Against Cagliari last season, Rabiot’s performance was the worst of his career as he touched the ball just 16 times in 69 minutes of play – far too few to justify a salary of \u00a36m per year.<\/p>\n
