Manchester United tackle Algeria international after Nuno Mendes failure

13th in the Premier League, 11 points behind 6th, Manchester United faces the danger of finding themselves on the brink of emptiness and experiencing a new season without a European Cup. But the management of the Red Devils is not naive: Ruben Amorim will need well-targeted reinforcements, and from this winter, to fine-tune his 3-4-3 which had made Sporting happy in recent seasons. Recently, the English press revealed that the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres next summer was making progress internally. But it is still far too early to move forward with certainty on this issue, as the competition promises to be fierce.

What seemed more concrete, however, was Manchester United's interest in Nuno Mendes. While discussions for an extension with PSG had stalled in recent weeks, Ruben Amorim had asked his management to recruit his former player, who worked with Sporting. According to our information, the Portuguese left-back was also very excited by the idea of ​​joining a championship which would further highlight his qualities, and which would allow him to reunite with his former coach. Except that yesterday, we learned that the player and his entourage had finally resigned themselves to the idea of ​​staying in Paris, PSG not being open to the Portuguese leaving. From now on, Mendes would therefore be closer to extending, than to leaving…

Rayan Aït-Nouri seriously courted by the Red Devils

A file which has taken a rather unexpected turn, and which will have to force Manchester United to review its copy and cast a wider net. As a reminder, Luke Shaw is still on the sidelines after relapsing at the beginning of December, while Tyrell Malacia is expected to leave the club in the coming weeks. Today, the piston positions are mainly occupied by Mazraoui and Dalot, but behind, Amorim does not have 1000 options.

This Sunday, The Independent therefore reveals a new track explored by the Red Devils, and it leads to Wolverhampton. According to the media, it is in fact Rayan Aït-Nouri who would be targeted by the triple winner of the C1. Bluffing for several seasons in the Premier League, the Algerian international has already been involved in 8 goals this season in the league (3 goals and 5 assists in 20 matches). Amorim would appreciate his flexibility, he who is capable of evolving both lateral and piston. But you'll probably have to get out the checkbook.
