Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to bring Noussair Mazraoui to Manchester United
Manchester United can expect to finalise the signing of Noussair Mazraoui over the course of the next few days with the exact fee agreed with Bayern Munich coming to light – and with Sir Jim Ratcliffe hoping to part fund the move by putting a major star up for sale at a mere €5m.
The Red Devils are neck-deep in what is looking like a transformative summer window as the British billionaire looks like to make his mark on his beloved Manchester United. Attempting to catapult them back among the English and European elite, Ratcliffe has kept true to his word of leaving no stone unturned to reverse a largely-disasppointing 2023/24 campaign.

While they did win the FA Cup to salvage their campaign, the fact they only finished eight in Premier League and humiliated themselves in the Champions League illustrated to the new man in charge that major surgery on the squad was required.
And while TEAMtalk has learned that at least four and potentially as many as seven new recruits could arrive at Old Trafford before the summer window closes for business, there will be potentially be as many high-profile exits as well.
Ratcliffe has already spent £88.7m on recruiting Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro – two of the finest young players in European football – though remains far from done as he looks to add a new right-back, a midfielder, potentially another centre-half and ideally a right-sided attacker and a left-back to the Red Devils’ squad.
Now United are on the cusp of adding Mazraoui to their summer recruits, with the Bayern Munich star only having eyes for Old Trafford this summer following the collapse of his move to West Ham.
