Noussair Mazraoui has already sent Manchester United transfer warning ahead of £16.9m chase

Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui has already warned Manchester United what he would want if he were to move to Old Trafford.

United have been heavily linked with a move for Mazraoui as the summer transfer window rolls on. The Reds have already added Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro to their squad this summer and it's increasingly likely that further additions will be made before the window closes on September 2.

Mazraoui has been linked with United as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen the full-back department. Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are the current right-back options at United, while Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are the left-back options.

However, Shaw and Dalot remain on international duty while Malacia is not part of the United squad that has travelled for the pre-season tour of the United States. As a result, United are seemingly in the market for a new full-back this summer with Mazraoui a rumoured target.

“It’s too early to talk about my perspective
