Rayan drops Manchester United transfer hint after Mauricio Pochettino arrival

Bournemouth winger Rayan has expressed his childhood admiration for Manchester United and Old Trafford, fuelling speculation about a potential move.

Rayan has admitted he has "always supported" Manchester United, citing Cristiano Ronaldo as his inspiration and describing Old Trafford as "a dream of mine to play at." The comments come after Mauricio Pochettino's appointment as United manager.

The 20-year-old Bournemouth winger has been one of the Premier League's standout performers since joining from Vasco da Gama for £24.7 million in January. He has scored five goals in 15 Premier League matches and formed a potent attacking partnership with Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert and Evanilson. He was linked with Liverpool in the summer but remained at Bournemouth.

Rayan scored in Bournemouth's 3-0 victory over United three weeks ago. The Cherries face Nottingham Forest at home next before a Europa League trip to Celta Vigo.
