Man Utd fail in attempt to sign Ait-Nouri from Man City
Manchester United approached Manchester City in the final hours of the transfer window in an attempt to sign Algeria defender Rayan Ait-Nouri on loan
Manchester United's efforts to sign Manchester City full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri on loan during the transfer deadline day were unsuccessful. The 25-year-old, who cost City £31m in June 2025, was not interested in a permanent deal for the young player and insisted on a loan with an obligation to buy. City sources confirmed that Ait-Nouri would remain with them, and with him staying, United would have to rely on experienced left-back Michael Carrick.
Additionally, United missed out on Leicester City's teenage midfielder Louis Page, despite having interest in him since August. Page's valuation was estimated to be well over £10m, which was deemed too high by Leicester. United had initially hoped to loan Page back to Leicester, but the deal did not go through, and Page will remain with the Foxes.
