Manchester United

defender

Noussair Mazraoui

as a key transfer target, according to Italian journalist

Daniele Longo

The Serie A club are believed to have made initial contact over a possible deal for the versatile Moroccan international, who has become one of the names on Milan’s shortlist.

Reports from Italy suggest the club see Mazraoui as an ideal addition because of his experience and ability to play in several defensive positions.

Mazraoui joined United from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024 and has been a key part of the club’s backline since then.

His versatility has allowed him to feature at right-back, left-back, wing-back and even in central defence, making him one of United’s most useful players.

Since arriving at Old Trafford, the 28-year-old has made 77 appearances and contributed three assists.

His performances and tactical flexibility have come in handy for United several times, so the club are not actively looking to cash in on Mazraoui this summer.

However,

have made the Moroccan their first-choice target, although they’re yet to formalise their interest with an official proposal.

New

manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly driving the move for Mazraoui.

Mazraoui’s ability to operate on both sides of the defence also makes him an attractive option.

Milan could benefit from a player capable of covering multiple positions, especially as the Serie A giants sweat over the future of left-back Pervis Estupinan.

The Ecuadorian defender has been linked with a return to the Premier League after attracting strong interest from Europa League winners Aston Villa.

If the Villans act on their interest,

could be short-staffed in the full-back roles, so bringing in Mazraoui could be a shrewd move for the

Rossoneri

Mazraoui has two years left on his contract with United, and the Premier League giants have shown no desire to part ways with the Moroccan this summer.

However, it remains to be seen if a formal offer could change their position.
