Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City defender Rayan Ait-Nouri as they look to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the January transfer window.
According to Florian Plettenberg, the 25-year-old is open to leaving the Etihad Stadium, and United are keen to explore bringing him to Old Trafford. Personal terms are not expected to be a problem, although negotiations between the two Manchester clubs could prove difficult.
The Algerian international has attracted United’s attention as they assess potential reinforcements at left-back. His attacking qualities, pace and ability to contribute in the final third could make him an attractive addition to Michael Carrick’s squad.
