Manchester United have revived a deal for Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui after a planned transfer to West Ham United fell through, a source told ESPN.
Mazraoui was close to a £15 million transfer to the London Stadium, but negotiations fell through at the last minute.
West Ham have now turned their attention to Aaron Wan-Bissaka, allowing United to resume talks with Bayern over Mazraoui.
Erik ten Hag wants to strengthen both full-back positions but the club must first raise money by offloading players. A source has told ESPN that United were originally demanding around £20 million for Wan-Bissaka, a transfer fee that caused Turkish club Galatasaray to lose interest.
United's revised demand is around £15 million.
Wan-Bissaka has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford and he is currently on a pre-season tour of the USA with the United team.
Ten Hag is also concerned about the left-back position, particularly with Tyrell Malacia still out with a knee injury. Malacia has not played in over a year and was left out of the squad that travelled to Los Angeles last week to continue his recovery at the Carrington training centre.
Mazraoui, 26, played under Ten Hag during his time as Ajax manager. The deal agreed between Bayern and West Ham would have earned the Premier League team £12.6 million as a striker and a further £2.3 million in possible add-ons.
