The disappointing 2025-26 campaign from AC Milan forced major changes at San Siro.
A late collapse saw the Rossoneri finish fifth in Serie A and miss out on Champions League football for a second consecutive season. So, the fallout was swift at Milan.
Massimiliano Allegri departed and club owner Gerry Cardinale turned to former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to lead a new era in Milan.
The Portuguese coach has already overseen an aggressive rebuild. Goncalo Ramos arrived in a club-record deal, Mario Gila strengthened the defence.
Also, several senior players moved on as Milan reshaped the squad ahead of the new campaign. Defensive reinforcements remain high on Amorim’s agenda.
According to Africa Foot, Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui has now emerged as one of Milan’s priority targets for the summer window.
The move would reunite the Morocco international with the manager who relied heavily on him at Old Trafford.
Mazraoui became one of Amorim’s most trusted players during their short spell together in Manchester.
Milan are specifically searching for a full-back capable of contributing in both attacking and defensive phases.
The Serie A side believe Mazraoui’s experience in England, Germany and European competition makes him an ideal fit.
The report claims negotiations could intensify over the coming days as AC Milan look to complete a deal before the start of the new season. Manchester United‘s position remains uncertain.
Mazraoui is contracted until 2028 and Michael Carrick values his flexibility across the back line.
However, with Amorim pushing for a reunion in Italy, the coming weeks could determine whether the Moroccan defender remains at Old Trafford or heads to San Siro.
