Manchester United is interested in Marseille defender
The website "Fichajes" reported that the English club Manchester United is closely watching Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd, a player for Olympique Marseille, in preparation for a potential signing in the upcoming period.
The source clarified that Aguerd, who recently joined Marseille in a deal worth around 23 million euros, has quickly attracted attention despite participating in only three official matches, where he scored in the classic match against Paris Saint-Germain and delivered a remarkable performance in the back line.
The site indicated that Manchester United sees Aguerd as an ideal option to bolster their defense, especially with his previous experience in the English league with West Ham, in addition to his experiences with Real Sociedad and his European appearances.
The report added that Aguerd's success in quickly integrating with Marseille makes him a difficult asset in negotiations, as the French club is keen on keeping his services shortly after signing him, at a time when United is looking for urgent solutions to their defensive issues.
