Manchester United are aiming to sign Noussair Mazraoui to provide backup for both full-back roles. Mazraoui is enthusiastic about joining the team and is expected to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back, while potentially addressing issues on the left side as well. Additionally, United are seeking to acquire another center-back and a midfielder, with Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte being the likely targets.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United’s interest in Noussair Mazraoui persists, with the club targeting him to cover both full-back positions in a new twist to their transfer plans.
Mazraoui, who has dropped down the ranks at Bayern Munich, is Manchester United’s top target for a full-back position this summer. Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with talks expected to pick up once Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s move to West Ham is finalized.
The Moroccan is reportedly eager to join the Premier League and is “patiently waiting” for a move to United. Although he is primarily being considered as a replacement for Wan-Bissaka at right-back, United’s management values his versatility and believes he can also address weaknesses at left-back within Erik ten Hag’s squad.
