Manchester United considering transfer of Rennes defender Nagida

Manchester United are considering a move for Rennes left-back Mahamadou Nagida during the upcoming winter transfer window. According to reports, United's scouts have monitored the 21-year-old extensively over the past six weeks, with the feedback on his performances being consistently positive.

The club is reportedly exploring a strategy that could involve signing two left-backs — one during the winter window and another in the summer. This approach is linked to ongoing uncertainty regarding the long-term future of Luke Shaw at the club.

Nagida has been with Rennes since August 2023, where he has gradually established himself as a member of the first-team squad. Across 55 appearances for the French side, the Cameroonian defender has contributed three goals and two assists.
