Juventus have stepped up their interest in Manchester United full-back Noussair Mazraoui, closely monitoring his situation as uncertainty surrounds the club following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants see the current context at Old Trafford as a potential opportunity to strengthen their squad, especially in defense, during the upcoming transfer window.
Juventus See Opportunity After Amorim’s Exit
Manchester United are expected to undergo changes both on and off the pitch as they prepare to appoint a new manager. This period of transition has drawn the attention of Juventus, who believe Mazraoui’s role in England could be affected by the club’s new sporting direction.
The Bianconeri are not rushing negotiations but are carefully tracking developments, aware that managerial instability often opens the door to squad reshuffles.
Mazraoui’s Reduced Role at Manchester United
Mazraoui struggled for continuity under Ruben Amorim before the coach’s dismissal. The Moroccan international featured in just nine matches, accumulating 443 minutes of playing time, a figure well below expectations for a player of his profile.
The former Ajax and Bayern Munich defender is currently assessing his future, waiting to see how Manchester United’s project evolves after the Africa Cup of Nations and the appointment of a new head coach.
World Cup Ambitions Influence Decision
At 27, Mazraoui is focused on maintaining regular playing time ahead of the next World Cup with the Moroccan national team. A lack of minutes at club level could weigh heavily on his decision, making a change of scenery increasingly attractive.
Juventus believe that Serie A could offer the stability and tactical environment needed for the defender to regain consistency and prominence.
A Familiar Target for Juventus
This is not the first time Mazraoui has been linked with the Turin club. Juventus had already made informal inquiries at the end of August, and although a deal did not materialize at the time, his name never left the club’s shortlist.
With renewed uncertainty at Manchester United, Juventus are once again positioning themselves as a potential destination, should the Red Devils decide to open negotiations.
