West Ham targets Man United left-back amid Diouf sale plans

Summary

West Ham is looking to acquire Manchester United left-back Harry Amass as they prepare to sell El Hadji Malick Diouf. Brentford has made a £35m bid for Diouf, potentially increasing to £40m with add-ons. West Ham initially intended to retain Diouf for their Championship campaign but appears ready to accept the offer. Amass, a 19-year-old, aims for more playing time after loan spells last season. Manchester United is also seeking to bolster their left-back position and monitored other players, which clears the way for Amass's move.
