Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 26-year-old Moroccan international Noussair Mazraoui from Bundesliga club Bayern Munich this summer.
Noussair Mazraoui was heavily linked with a summer move to West Ham United. However, it seems that the Hammers have failed in their pursuit of the 26-year-old due to his demands.
According to Santi Aouna and Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United are now advancing their move to sign the Moroccan international, and the player has a preference towards the move to Old Trafford.
It is no secret that Manchester United are looking to bring in a right-back this summer. They need more quality and depth in that area, and Noussair Mazraoui should prove to be a quality acquisition. The 26-year-old has proven his quality in the Bundesliga, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well.
The Moroccan international could develop into a key player for Manchester United in the coming seasons. The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in English football.
Manchester United need to improve defensively
Manchester United will have to improve their squad if they are serious about challenging the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City next season. The Red Devils managed to win the FA Cup last season, and they will hope to mount a title challenge in the upcoming campaign.
They will need to plug the gaps in their squad, and the defensive unit is an area that is in need of reinforcements. Manchester United were quite vulnerable at the back last season, and they conceded 58 goals in the league. They will need to tighten up defensively in order to do well.
Meanwhile, Noussair Mazraoui has proven his quality in other European leagues, and he will look to test himself in English football now. It could be the ideal step up in his career right now, and he will look to prove himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
As for West Ham, they need to sign a quality full back as well, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to move onto other targets now that they have abandoned the pursuit of the Bayern Munich defender.
