Paris Saint-Germain left-back, Nuno Mendes is interested in joining Manchester United after rejecting a contract offer from his current club.

Man United have identified Mendes as one of their favoured options to solve the problem on the left side of manager Ruben Amorim’s defence.

Amorim has already worked with Mendes during their time together at Sporting CP.

He handed the 22-year-old his first-team debut at Sporting in June 2020.

The Portugal international spent just over a year with Amorim at Sporting before he joined PSG on loan.

His move to the French Ligue 1 champions was then made permanent for £34 million.

Mendes missed the majority of last season because of a hamstring injury.

This season, Mendes has made 17 appearances for PSG across all competitions.

He has been PSG manager Luis Enrique’s first-choice option at left-back.

PSG are ready to tie Mendes down to a new contract as his current deal expires next year.

However, according to FootMercato, Mendes has rejected PSG’s latest offer.

The report added that the defender is now ‘very interested’ in linking back up with his former manager Amorim at Man United.

It’s yet to be seen if Mendes will end up joining the Red Devils this ongoing January transfer window.
