Manchester United have scouted Hicham Boudaoui as part of their summer rebuild. The player was observed in action for Algeria against Sweden. Man Utd is looking for affordable players and Boudaoui, a 25-year-old midfielder, is available for around €23m-€25m. However, due to UEFA multi-club ownership rules, Man Utd cannot officially sign him until 1 September. Boudaoui also has interest from clubs in France, Spain, Germany, and elsewhere in England. Nice prefers clarity on his future before September.

Manchester United are keen on signing Algerian midfielder Hicham Boudaoui from INEOS-owned Ligue 1 side Nice. The potential transfer is driven by the club's desire to strengthen their squad under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, who is keen on adding quality players to the Red Devils' lineup. The involvement of INEOS, which owns Nice, adds an interesting dimension to the negotiations, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a key figure in INEOS, appears to be looking at talent from within the company's own football portfolio.
