Morocco star Hakim Ziyech has been urged to link back up with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Ziyech has been a bit-part player at Chelsea this season, making only one Premier League start and a further four substitute appearances.
He remains a key starter for Morocco, helping his country to become the first African nation ever to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
Morocco clinched their berth by beating Portugal at the weekend, setting up a last-four clash with France.
Ziyech urged to sign for Manchester United
Ziyech’s contribution for his country does not align with his role for his club, and he is expected to push for a move away from Stamford Bridge in January.
He has been urged to reunited with his former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Former Morocco international Mustafa El Haddaoui told Corriere dello Sport: “Now we’re seeing Hakim’s potential, we can see what he’s capable of. He has a lot to offer.
“‘He needs to leave Chelsea and go to Manchester United, because the former Ajax manager [Erik ten Hag] wanted him. He will bounce back, but he needs to leave Chelsea during the winter transfer market.”
Ziyech enjoyed huge success under Ten Hag at Ajax, reaching the Champions League semi-finals and later clinching a £33 million move to Chelsea.
His spell at Chelsea has seen him work under three different managers, and his future at the club looks bleak.
Manchester United do need cover in wide areas, but are not expected to prioritise Ziyech, who will have numerous offers.
Erik ten Hag is key of course, and if he decides the Moroccan can do a job for him, Ziyech could drop all his plans to head to Old Trafford.
