Noussair Mazraoui set to join Manchester United
Noussair Mazraoui is set to join Manchester United from Bayern Munich, with a deal valued at €25 million, according to The Guardian. The 26-year-old Moroccan international chose United over West Ham, where he will reunite with former coach Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United accelerated their pursuit of Mazraoui following the transfer falling off with West Ham United. The transfer to Manchester United is pending Wan-Bissaka's move to West Ham, which is expected to be finalized soon. Wan-Bissaka, who has one year left on his contract, is drawing interest from several clubs, with United aiming to cash in before his contract expires.

Mazraoui, who is under contract with Bayern until 2026, previously played for Ajax under Ten Hag. The right back has suffered several injury setbacks during his career but despite this, he is seen as a strong addition to United’s squad and is expected to compete with Diogo Dalot for the right-back position.
West Ham's initial move for Mazraoui collapsed, allowing United to step in and agree on personal terms with the player. Manchester United is working on offloading Wan-Bissaka to finance the transfer, with the deal expected to be completed once Wan-Bissaka's exit is confirmed.
