Manchester United Eyeing Move for Manchester City Left-Back Rayan Ait-Nouri

Algerian left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, who joined Manchester City in 2025 at the direct request of Pep Guardiola, is facing a major shift in his club career. After making 28 appearances last season under Guardiola, the defender has fallen out of favor with new manager Enzo Maresca, featuring in just four matches so far this campaign. Amid speculation linking him with Juventus, Manchester United have emerged as the frontrunners to secure his signature.

According to TeamTalk, the Red Devils are eager to bolster their defensive line following another difficult start to the season. With Ait-Nouri widely expected to depart in search of regular playing time, United have already made a move, positioning themselves strongly to capitalize on the opportunity to sign the talented full-back.
