Rayan Ait-Nouri considers exit from Manchester City amid United interest
Summary

Rayan Ait-Nouri is reportedly open to leaving Manchester City during the January transfer window. The 25-year-old defender has struggled for playing time this season, with only four appearances, largely due to competition from Josko Gvardiol and Nico O'Reilly. Manchester United has expressed interest in Ait-Nouri, although the transfer is complicated by the rivalry between the clubs. Ait-Nouri's difficult stint at City began after his arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth £31.8 million.
