MANCHESTER UNITED’S move for Noussair Mazraoui is BACK ON after his switch to West Ham allegedly collapsed.
The 26-year-old Moroccan international full-back looked set to join the Hammers from Bayern Munich after a £16.4million deal was agreed.

However, personal terms were reportedly unable to be thrashed out between the Premier League side and the player’s representative.
That has led to West Ham walking away from discussions and opened the door for Erik ten Hag’s side.
And United are believed to be in “advanced talks” over the move.
That is according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, who posted on X: “Noussair #Mazraoui deal with West Ham is OFF!
“No agreement on agent‘s side has been reached. Despite the agreement between the clubs (15,5 + 4) and on player‘s side West Ham now have left the negotiations.
“Manchester United now pushing to sign Mazraoui. Advanced talks.”
The news will come as a bitter blow for new West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui as he looks to add to his three summer signings.
Goalie Wes Foderingham arrived from Sheffield United on a free transfer as well as midfielder Luis Guilherme on a £25m deal from Palmeiras.
Defender Max Kilman also arrived from Wolves in a £40m transfer earlier this month.
Ten Hag has also been busy in the transfer market with recent United signing Leny Yoro making a great first impression following his £52million arrival from Lille last week against Glasgow Rangers.
The French defender, 18, was United's second addition under Sir Jim Ratcliffe after Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee arrived from Bologna for £36.5m.
They are also hoping to add another Netherlands international to the ranks as they plot a swoop for PSG star Xavi Simons.
And now Mazraoui, who played under Ten Hag previously at Ajax, could also be joining them.
Bayern signed Mazraoui, who helped Morocco to reach the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, from Ajax in 2022 on a four-year deal.
He has played 55 times for the club in various positions - although he has largely been kept out of the team by Joshua Kimmich.
Meanwhile, the United squad have touched down in America to start their tour.
Tyey and are set to face Arsenal on Sunday with the all-Premier League showdown taking place at LA’s SoFi Stadium.
That will be followed by a friendly against Real Betis at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California on August 1.
United will finish the USA tour with a match against rivals Liverpool at the Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.
