Rayan Ait-Nouri was the subject of interest at the end of the summer window. Manchester City did not want to loan the player to their rivals and insisted on receiving a fee for him.

According to David Ornstein, Manchester United attempted to sign Rayan Ait-Nouri on deadline day because the Manchester City defender was offered to them. An agreement could not be reached with Man City. Man City was willing to let the 25-year-old left-back leave on loan, provided an obligation-to-buy clause was included in a deal. United rejected this demand. United viewed Ait-Nouri only as a short-term solution at left-back and consequently had no interest in pursuing a permanent deal. Ornstein understands the prospective deal only came about because United were presented with the chance to sign the Algeria international. City would have wanted a high obligation to buy, which United was not prepared to do because he is not considered their long-term solution for that position.
