TOP STORY: Man United looking at De Ligt, Mazraoui

Manchester United are aiming to complete a double swoop of Bayern Munich defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, reports Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg.

Progress is reported to have been made regarding moves for both as negotiations continue, amid the belief that the Bundesliga club is open to offloading the pair before the transfer window closes.

The Red Devils’ need for a centre-back became more urgent recently with new signing Leny Yoro expected to be out for three months, and it looks as though the 24-year-old De Ligt has been moved to the top of their shortlist.

Manager Erik ten Hag is also believed to be looking to part ways with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and he could be directly replaced by 26-year-old Morocco international Mazraoui, who has also been linked with West Ham United.

Should moves be secured for both De Ligt and Mazraoui, they would be Manchester United’s third and fourth signings of the summer.
