Manchester United linked with Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri

Rayan Ait-Nouri, the Algerian-French Manchester City left-back, is linked with a move to Manchester United in a potential Premier League transfer.

The 25-year-old is listed as a Manchester City player, with United identified as the club interested in taking him across the city. Both clubs compete in the Premier League, making the proposed move a domestic switch between two of English football’s leading sides.

Ait-Nouri’s listed market value is €35m, although no transfer fee has been reported for the potential deal. The Algeria and France-qualified defender is contracted to Manchester City until 30 June 2030, meaning he is not approaching the end of his current agreement.

The rumour was recorded on 30 October 2026 and remains unconfirmed. There is no indication that an agreement has been reached between the clubs or with the player.

Ait-Nouri’s reported availability has emerged despite the length of his Manchester City contract. Any move to United would therefore involve negotiations over a transfer rather than a free transfer, with his existing deal running for almost four more years.
