WOLVES star Rayan Ait-Nouri is high on the wishlist of new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim.

The Algerian’s contract expires in the summer of 2026 and he is believed to be eyeing a move away from Molineux.

Ruben Amorim believes he perfectly suits his style of play

That has put United are on red alert for a player as Amorim has made signing a left-back a priority.

Shaw could also eventually move into the back-three once the former Sporting Lisbon manager fully instils his 3-4-3 system at Old Trafford.

Ait-Nouri, an attacking wing-back, ticks all of the boxes for Amorim and the style of the football he likes to play.

The 23-year-old has also been linked with a move to Liverpool, but United will be keen to ensure Amorim’s wishes are met.

Ait-Nouri is currently on a deal of £33,000-a-week at Wolves and the Red Devils would be able to tempt him with a substantial uplift in his wages.

Since coming from French team Angers in 2020, the fan favorite has made over 100 appearances in the Premier League, giving him a wealth of experience.

In addition to recording six assists, he has eight goals to his credit.

Given the risk of relegation, Wolves probably want to hold onto him until the summer.

In order to acquire their man, United could have to wait until the conclusion of the season.

Amorim may also go shopping at Sporting, where he is rumored to be interested in midfielder Morten Hjulmand and forward Viktor Gyokeres.
