The January transfer window has been built up for the Al Nassr fans for the prospect of the reunion of Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro. However, the Portuguese forward could reunite with a different Manchester United player. The Knights of Najd are planning a move for the Red Devils defender in a bid to boost the squad for the rest of the season.
Moreover, Al Nassr remains in the title challenge with arch-rivals and league leaders Al Hilal. However, to overcome the seven-point gap, the Saudi giants will need to make significant investments.

In the last summer transfer window, Al Nassr brought in left-back Alex Telles from Manchester United. Now in the January transfer window, the Knights of Najd are planning another raid on the Red Devils. According to Mike McGrath of the Telegraph, the Saudi giants are preparing a bid for right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The recent update comes after Al Nassr saw a bid rejected for Tottenham defender Emerson Royal. They are aware of the limited time in the January transfer window. Hence, they have moved on quickly.
At the moment, the situation of Aaron Wan-Bissaka is unclear with Manchester United. His contract expires in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Red Devils have been in negotiations over a contract extension. However, the talks have not progressed in the last several months. Therefore, it looks like the Knights of Najd are looking to take advantage of the situation.
It will be interesting whether the Red Devils consider the bid for their right-back. As far as the Al Nassr are concerned, the Saudi giants could take advantage of the recently introduced rule at Old Trafford.

INEOS, who have recently taken over a minor stake in the club, are planning to reintroduce the Cristiano Ronaldo rule. It means that Manchester United does not want any player in the squad with a salary of 200,000 pounds per week. Hence, several players including Aaron Wan Bissaka could be sold for the right price in the January window.
Red Devils defender Raphael Varane, who has also been linked with Al Nassr, has his contract expiring this summer. He will have to accept a significant pay cut to continue his stay in England.
