Manchester United are targeting Wolverhampton Wanderers pair Rayan Ayet-Nouri and Matheus Cunha.
Old Trafford had to endure another frustrating afternoon yesterday as Brighton & Hove Albion ran out a deserved 3-1 winner.
Ruben Amorim commented after the game that this was probably United’s worst team ever, and it’s clear the team is in dire need of reinforcements.
United have plenty of holes to fill, but the two most obvious ones are at left wing-back and striker, with Diogo Dalot proving unable to play at the top level in this position either defensively or offensively. continues to do so.
Furthermore, although Joshua Zirkzee has outperformed Rasmus Hojlund recently, the Red Devils still need an offensive signing to help their offensive attack.
The Independent reports that “Manchester United are considering Ryan Ayet-Nouri from Wolves as a replacement at left-back.”
“Ruben Amorim has made this position a top priority in January as he seeks to find a tactical balance in the team.”The club has also shown interest in Amorim’s former Paris Saint-Germain player Nuno Mendes. .
Nevertheless, the Portugal international’s contract is currently considered too expensive, both due to the €60 million price tag and his “huge wages”.
There are also reports that he may be considering signing a new contract with the Ligue 1 leaders.
Due to contract complications, United are starting to consider alternatives and Aito Nouri has caught the team’s attention.
Despite a difficult season for Wolves as a team, the Algerian has impressed, with the 23-year-old “demonstrating his aptitude to play both as a left wing-back and as a left-back during his time at Wolves, and Amorim as a team with his flexibility”. and appreciates the flexibility of his movements. ”
United are also interested in teammate Matheus Cunha, but are “facing considerable opposition” due to his excellent performances this season.
Arsenal are also reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian, but Wolves are currently embroiled in a relegation battle and have no interest in selling him in January.
