Noussair Mazraoui interview will worry Man Utd after ugly Cristiano Ronaldo exit

Manchester United target Noussair Mazraoui has already violated a key rule set by Erik ten Hag after publicly questioning team selections at Bayern Munich.

United and the German club have reportedly reached an agreement for Mazraoui's transfer to Old Trafford. The 26-year-old is understood to have agreed personal terms with the Red Devils on a five-year contract until June 2029, with an option to extend until 2030.

Mazraoui is eager to finalise the transfer, although its completion hinges on whether United can offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka - who has been linked to West Ham. The move would reunite the right-back with his former Ajax manager.

But Ten Hag will not be pleased with some of Mazraoui's behaviour during his stint at Bayern, having joined from Ajax in May 2022. Upon taking the reins at United in 2022, the Dutchman immediately established strict ground rules.

One of these involved telling his players to approach him directly if they had any issues, rather than going to their agents - something which had occurred under previous United managers.

Mazraoui breached the non-negotiable rule in his first season with Bayern. A disappointing campaign saw the Moroccan frustrated by his limited playing time under head coach Julian Nagelsmann, leading him to voice his complaints directly to the media.

"I feel forgotten. The situation is disappointing. I'm no longer the 2nd option in my position but 3rd or 4th," the player admitted to Bild.

"If the situation stays like this, that's not what I want. And not what I deserve.
