Report🤑: £130,000-a-week star rejects move to club, now in talks to join Man United instead….

As per FootMercato, Noussair Mazraoui has turned down a transfer to West Ham in favor of joining Manchester United.

In addition to a reported £16.5 million contract, the Hammers were also thought to have arranged personal conditions for the Bayern Munich player before he moved to the Premier League.

However, a deal for the 26-year-old Moroccan international has since fallen through, and Manchester United is reportedly the former Ajax star’s top choice.

Mazraoui Wants Manchester United Transfer

Erik ten Hag wants reunion with defender

With no future at the Allianz Arena under Vincent Kompany, it looked like a move to the London Stadium was all but done for the £130,000-a-week star.

However a report from France suggests that Mazraoui was never interested in completing a move to West Ham as he wants a bigger club, with the player especially hoping that the Red Devils will come in and make a formal move for him.

Ten Hag is looking to improve his full-back positions after the injury issues that Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia dealt with in the 2023/24 season, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is entering the final year of his contract at Old Trafford.

The belief is that United chiefs have identified Mazraoui as a top target to strengthen those areas of the squad, with his relationship with former Ajax teammate Antony also seen as something that could unlock the Brazilian’s potential after two disappointing seasons following his £80m transfer.

However, according to Fabrizio Romano Manchester United must first sell Wan-Bissaka before they can make a deal happen for Mazraoui, who has previously been described as world-class by the official Ajax website.
