JUST NOW: Manchester united Pushing to Sign Noussair Mazaroui With Talks Advanced
Manchester United are now pushing to sign Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraou after the right-back’s move to West Ham United collapsed after the player failed to agree personal terms, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Mazraoui endured an injury-ravaged 2023/24 campaign, starting just 15 Bundesliga games as Bayern missed out on the title to Bayer Leverkusen. The 26-year-old has fallen in the pecking order at the Allianz, and is now firmly behind the likes of Joshua Kimmich and January signing Sacha Boey.
As a result of this decline in prominence in southern Germany, West Ham and United expressed interest in the player, with the Hammers reportedly reaching a £16.5 million agrement to sign Mazraoui earlier this week. However, Plettenberg has revealed that a deal was unable to be agreed upon on the player’s side, and that he’s now more likely to make the switch to Old Trafford.
