Manchester United target Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui

Manchester United are considering several potential signings for the right-back, including Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui, a source has told ESPN.

United would like to add another right-back to their squad this summer, but that is likely to depend on Aaron Wan-Bissaka leaving Old Trafford.

Bayern defender Mazraoui is one of the names being considered, while the club have already shown interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong. A source told ESPN that the 26-year-old Moroccan international will be allowed to leave the Allianz Arena if Bayern’s valuation is met.

United have signed 18-year-old centre-back Leny Yoro from Lille but remain open to further defensive additions during the transfer window.

There is still interest in Bayern Munich centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, although the German side are demanding a fee in excess of £42m.

United will consider offers for Wan-Bissaka, who has attracted interest from Galatasaray and West Ham United and is expected to command around £20m. The 26-year-old has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford.

Wan-Bissaka is likely to be part of the United squad that travels to Los Angeles on Wednesday to begin their pre-season tour with games against Arsenal and Real Betis.

United Airlines is set to take a reduced number of staff to the United States amid plans to cut around 250 jobs. Several staff who have been told their jobs are at risk have been pulled from the tour as the cost-cutting drive, led by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team, is set to gather pace.

United declined to comment when asked about the staff reductions.
