Manchester United are considering a January move for Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.

The 25-year-old Algeria international could potentially move across Manchester if United decide to pursue the deal, although it remains unclear whether City would be willing to negotiate with their local rivals.

Any transfer would depend on City’s decision and the financial terms involved. No agreement has been reported, and the two clubs have yet to indicate whether discussions have taken place.

Ait-Nouri has made only three appearances for Manchester City in all competitions this season. Despite his limited involvement, he has contributed three assists.

Transfermarkt estimates the defender’s current market value at €35 million.
