Manchester United are actively looking to bring in new signings this month.
The Red Devils currently occupy the bottom half of the Premier League table and to turn around their season, they need new additions to the squad to improve quality and depth.
One of the positions they want to strengthen is left-back and they had identified Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes as their main target in that position.
However, the French club are demanding a massive transfer fee for the Portuguese international, which is out of reach for the Red Devils.
Due to their poor financial situation, they are expected to sell players to raise funds for the defender who played under Amorim in the past at Sporting Lisbon.
The player is now set to stay at the French club after being convinced by manager Luis Enrique.
Amorim and Man United have now turned their attention to Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, according to The Independent.
Rayan Ait-Nouri would be ideal for Man United
Ait-Nouri has once again been Wolves’ star this season and Amorim is said to be a fan of the player.
The Wolves defender is a versatile player who plays not only as a left back or left back but also as a left center back.
He is a player who could solve a lot of problems in the Man United team who have struggled with the form and fitness issues of their current left-backs; Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
The Man United boss has made the left-back position his priority for this transfer window and he is ready to push for the signing of Ait-Nouri from Wolves.
The Algerian defender has three goals and five assists in the Premier League this season and his attacking quality would be ideal for Amorim and his team.
