Manchester United is closely interested in Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd, currently on loan at Real Sociedad from West Ham United. The 28-year-old Moroccan center-back has made a strong impression in La Liga and the Europa League this season, attracting the attention of the Red Devils. His adaptation to English football after his transfer from Rennes to West Ham in 2022, along with his experience in Spain, makes him an ideal candidate to strengthen Manchester United’s defense, which is seeking stability in its back line.
Aguerd’s performances have caught the eye of Manchester United’s management, who are looking to bolster their defensive lineup as the summer transfer window approaches. Although the player is currently contracted to West Ham until 2027, his impact in Spain has quickly sparked rumors about a possible signing this summer. The Red Devils see him as a player capable of seamlessly integrating into their playing system while providing valuable experience in European competitions.
However, Manchester United’s interest complicates Real Sociedad’s plans, which had hoped to sign Aguerd on a permanent basis following his loan. If the Premier League giants decide to make a move, it could force Sociedad to abandon its ambitions of retaining the Moroccan defender. The coming months are therefore set to be crucial for Aguerd’s future, with fierce competition among European clubs for his signature.
