According to The Athletic, newly appointed permanent manager Michael Carrick is reluctant to offload either Mason Mount or Noussair Mazraoui because he values the pair’s versatility as Man Utd prepares to return to European competition.

Noussair Mazraoui has not played regularly under Carrick and has made ten Premier League starts all season. Juventus have previously been linked with a move for the Moroccan international.

Paul Scholes said that Noussair Mazraoui should be sold. Scholes stated he does not know the player's role, noting Mazraoui has been like a right-sided centre-half and the team does not play with three centre-halves anymore. Scholes added that if there were three centre-halves then Mazraoui would probably be one of five or six, but he thinks it is probably time for him to be sold.

The arrival of Julian Ryerson could lead to one of Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui remaining as a back-up, with the other being sold.
