Manchester United are reportedly considering a sensational move for Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri as they explore options to strengthen their defensive department.
The 25-year-old Algeria international has emerged as a potential target for the Red Devils, who are believed to be monitoring his situation at the Etihad Stadium ahead of a possible transfer.
A move for Ait-Nouri would represent a major surprise given the fierce rivalry between the two Manchester clubs. However, personal terms are not expected to pose a significant obstacle should United decide to formalise their interest in the defender.
Ait-Nouri, known for his attacking qualities, pace and ability to operate effectively down the left flank, could offer Manchester United an additional dimension in their defensive setup.
Although no formal agreement has been reached, United’s reported interest could set the stage for a potentially controversial transfer between the city’s biggest rivals.
