Manchester United must pay for Rayan Ait Nouri
If United can get a talent like Ait Nouri for that kind of price, it would certainly be a good deal for the club, even if they need to be a little careful with their money.
Sources have indicated that MUFC could also explore lowering that price by including Luke Shaw or Tyrell Malacia as part of the deal, although it remains to be seen if this is something Wolves would consider.
Ait Nouri looks like a fairly safe bet, even if he's not cheap, as he is young enough that he can still continue to improve, while also having Premier League experience.
His defensive abilities and going forward should also make him an ideal wing-back in Amorim's tactical system, and it's hard to imagine there are many other players who might be better suited to this role.
Wolves could be in a relegation battle this season, so that could mean they reject offers for key players in January, leaving interested clubs to wait until the summer.
