HERE WE GO! Manchester United agrees a huge transfer fee to sign a goalscoring and talented winger who’ll be a dangerous combination with Amad- Medical plan already in place as star keen to sign five-years transfer deal
Manchester United have identified Wolverhampton Wanderers star Rayan Ait-Nouri as a potential option to bolster the left wing-back position, according to The Independent.
The Red Devils have had a poor Premier League campaign, and they are languishing 13th in the standings with only 26 points from 21 games.
Despite this, they have made some positive progress under manager Ruben Amorim and recently ousted Arsenal from the FA Cup.
The left wing-back role has been problematic, and it has been reported that Amorim wants a ‘proper’ solution for the same soon.
Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes was highlighted as the top target earlier this month, but the defender has decided to stay put.
The Portuguese has been convinced by manager Luis Enrique, and he will commit his future to PSG by penning a new long-term contract.
Amidst this, The Independent claim that the Red Devils have their sights on landing Ait-Nouri, who has been a consistent performer for Wolves.
Ait-Nouri would be a perfect candidate. The Algerian star has registered four goals and five assists from 22 appearances in all competitions for Wolves this term.
The 23-year-old has also excelled with his defensive contributions. He has won 5.6 duels and 2.4 tackles per outing with 4.7 recoveries and almost two clearances.
He has a Transfermarkt value of almost £30 million, but Wolves could easily demand £50m for his services.
The Midlands outfit are in a relegation battle and may not want to lose one of their prized assets unless they receive a premium fee before the window closes.
We don’t see a deal happening unless INEOS are willing to provide funds. With Profit and Sustainability Rules in mind, a high-profile exit could still be required.
United may have to wait until the summer to secure his signature.
