Man Utd’s three-man January shortlist including forgotten Man City star

Manchester United have reportedly identified a three-man transfer shortlist for the January window, which includes Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell, and Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz. Sitting in 17th place in the Premier League, manager Michael Carrick faces increasing pressure due to squad deficiencies at left-back and forward following a difficult start to the campaign.

Manchester City previously offered Ait-Nouri to United on a loan deal with an obligation to buy during the summer, but United rejected a permanent transfer. Meanwhile, Mitchell is approaching the final six months of his contract at Crystal Palace, and Muniz has emerged as a potential short-term attacking target following injuries to forward Benjamin Sesko.
