Manchester United have set their sights on Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui as they seek to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils’ initial double bid for the defenders was swiftly turned down by the Bavarians, who are holding out for a combined fee of €70 million.

Despite the setback, Man United remain undeterred and are continuing negotiations, hopeful of reaching a more agreeable sum. United head coach Erik ten Hag is keen to integrate De Ligt and Mazraoui into his team before their Premier League opener against Fulham on August 16th.

The urgency of these signings is underscored by United’s upcoming fixtures, starting with a high-stakes Community Shield clash against Manchester City at Wembley next weekend.

Securing the defensive duo in time could be crucial for Ten Hag’s ambitions this season. The transfer saga promises to be one to watch as talks progress in the coming days.
