Bad news for Liverpool; Man United plot summer diversion for slot favourite

Manchester United are now understood to be making a bid to sign Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui.

Close sources Caught offside have made it clear that there will be no problem securing personal terms with the 26-year-old.

That said, should the Red Devils fail in their pursuit of the Moroccan star, Dutch coach Erik ten Hag has a ‘plan B’ in the form of Inter Milan right-back Denze Dumfries.

Inter Milan will fight back to keep Dumfries

Inter Milan, for what it’s worth, won’t take any potential interest out. The Serie A giants are understood to have held talks to extend the tenure of their 28-year-old defender.

However, that could stop if the No.2 were to seek a move to the Premier League.

The Red Devils have a ‘Plan C’ in any case, which must be ready to compete with fellow English top-flight rivals Arsenal and Liverpool (plus PSG) for Feyenoord star Lutsharel Geertruida.

The Rotterdam-born defender has excelled under Arne Slot’s tutelage in the last term, registering 14 assists in 47 games (in all competitions).

Meanwhile, West Ham United are continuing talks with Manchester United over the possibility of signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer.
