It's reportedly back to square one for Manchester United after failing to land Rayan Ait-Nouri from Manchester City. The defender had been in their sights for weeks, but despite talks taking place over a potential transfer, the move never materialised and it looks like they will need to move onto fresh targets. He'll remain with his current club for the time being - unless an improved bid is made. Talks collapsed before reaching an agreement, and with no other clubs involved, Rayan Ait-Nouri remains at Manchester City. This season (26/27) Manchester United have shipped 4 goals in 2 matches - 2.0 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Rayan Ait-Nouri would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Alongside this, Manchester City are said to be exploring Julian Alvarez, Cody Gakpo and Allan Andrade Elias with Manchester United likewise connected to Igor Matanovic, Ferdi Kadioglu and Finn Jeltsch.
