Aguerd is currently on a season-long loan at Real Sociedad, who face Manchester United tonight in the Europa League. The defender has been excellent in La Liga this season after being deemed surplus to requirements by former West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui.
When we asked our top Hammers insider about interest from Old Trafford, we were told that the Moroccan remains in the club’s plans.
“We want Nayef Aguerd back playing for West Ham now that we are using three centre-backs. Our new manager rates him.”
This update aligns with what Claret & Hugh reported yesterday, with West Ham coach Graham Potter keen to assess Aguerd during pre-season.
Speaking last night, our source continued: “Let’s see how he gets on against Man United tomorrow. He was rested at the weekend due to a minor injury to ensure he’s fresh for the game.”
