Adrien Rabiot is on the verge of joining Olympique Marseille after the club confirmed they have reached an agreement in principle for the midfielder's signing on a free transfer. The 29-year-old player has been without a club since leaving Juventus in July and had previously been linked with Manchester United, who seem to have shifted focus after signing Manuel Ugarte. Rabiot's move to Marseille is expected to be finalized soon, subject to a successful medical examination. Under the management of Roberto De Zerbi, Marseille aims to bolster their squad with Rabiot, who has a notable history in Serie A and international play with France. Meanwhile, Manchester United secured a 3-0 victory against Southampton, although they remain in need of a stronger midfield presence amid ongoing scrutiny of Casemiro's performance. The club's future prospects hinge on their ability to perform well in upcoming fixtures against tougher Premier League opponents.
