Manchester United’s Deadline-Day Loan Move for Rayan Ait-Nouri Collapses
Manchester United reportedly made a late attempt to sign Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri on deadline day, but the proposed deal collapsed over the transfer terms. United wanted a straightforward loan to strengthen a left-back position where Luke Shaw is their only established senior option. City were willing to discuss a temporary move only if it included an obligation to buy at the end of the season. United rejected that condition, ending the talks. Ait-Nouri has struggled for regular playing time at City, sitting behind Josko Gvardiol and Nico O’Reilly in the pecking order. The failed move leaves United with limited options at left-back, with Diogo Dalot and midfielder Carlos Baleba potentially needed as emergency cover.
