Elmohamady played for Bruce at Aston Villa, Hull City and Sunderland.

And The Sun claim that United’s head coach is “fighting” to sign the Egypt international.

However, the right-back is 31, and the club is looking to sign younger players with a re-sale value.

Bruce said yesterday that the club is still “active” in the transfer market following the arrivals of Allan Saint-Maximin and Jetro Willems.
