City rejected the move, but Ait-Nouri is still expected to leave as he is yet to make a single Premier League appearance this season.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, United will go back in for the Algerian as they seek to provide competition for Luke Shaw.
It’s understood that Ait-Nouri would be open to the move and personal terms aren’t likely to be an issue.
The main issue is the strained relationship between the two clubs.
