Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraoui could be yet another player on the radar of transfer hungry Premier League club Manchester United.
The Red Devils are in the midst of a roster overhaul (which might include Matthijs de Ligt as well) and could be plotting to make a move for Mazraoui. West Ham United is also interested in the Moroccan, per Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg:

First concrete talks took place. Mazraoui is at the top of the list for both clubs and he’s keen to play Premier League. #MUFC | #WHUFC
The 26 y/o right-back can leave FC Bayern now. Originally they demanded €30m. However, the market does not support this amount. Now, Bayern pushing to get €20-25m. Most realistic price: €15-20m all-in. Contract valid until 2026.
Mazraoui’s status at Bayern Munich is definitely in doubt as the club seems to have soured on him in recent months. Touted as a right-back to complement the left-back play of Alphonso Davies, Mazraoui has dealt with injuries off-and-on during his tenure in Bavaria, but has performed admirably otherwise.
Mazraoui’s future could also be partly contingent on what happens with Joshua Kimmich, who also might want to leave Bavaria.
