United have already wrapped up a £55m transfer for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.
And £47m Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana followed soon after.
The Red Devils are now on the verge of completing a £72m swoop for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.
But Tuttosport claims Ten Hag is keen to raid Serie A for another of its top stars.
Fiorentina star Amrabat put himself on the radar of several Premier League sides with some incredible performances for Morocco at the World Cup.
Chelsea made a cheeky attempt to sign him in January.
And Liverpool also have Amrabat on a shortlist to replace former captain Jordan Henderson.
The younger brother of former Watford star Nordin was also a target for Jose Mourinho when the Roma boss was tipped for the Paris Saint-Germain job.

But Amrabat is now firmly in United’s sights as cover for anchorman Casemiro.
And it’s reckoned he expects to move to Old Trafford after United offered £21.5m last week.
Fiorentina are holding out for closer to £26m.
But all parties are said to be confident of striking an agreement soon.
And Amrabat already has his “suitcase packed” in order to travel to Carrington immediately.
The Dutch-born No6 started his career at Utrecht before enjoying spells at Feyenoord, Club Brugge and Hellas Verona.
Amrabat has been at Fiorentina since 2020, costing the Italians £17m.
He has since played 107 times, making 49 appearances alone last season.
And Amrabat is also a seasoned international, already winning 49 caps for Morocco while helping them to a fourth-place finish at December’s World Cup in Qatar.
