Sky Sports: Man Utd and Ashworth have now held talks over signing new £30m “monster” for Ten Hag

Manchester United have reportedly held talks over signing a new £30m midfield “monster” for Erik ten Hag.

Man Utd eyeing more signings after Zirkzee and Yoro

Sporting director Dan Ashworth and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe have secured two marquee summer signings already ahead of the new Premier League campaign, with forward Joshua Zirkzee and centre-back Leny Yoro signed from Bologna and Lille respectively.

Unfortunately, Yoro has already sustained an injury in pre-season, with the Red Devils confirming that the teenager has since undergone surgery on a foot problem.

Attention is still on further reinforcements, with Bayern Munich duo Noussair Mazraouiand Matthijs de Ligt two top targets at right-back and centre-back.

Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg provided a recent update on the pair, saying: “From FC Bayern’s perspective, the offer from Manchester United for Matthijs de Ligt is still not sufficient to proceed with the deal! The two clubs remain apart on the transfer fee. Bayern still demand €50m+ bonuses. Negotiations for Noussair Mazraoui are more concrete at this stage, with the transfer fee expected of at least €25m all-in. Still waiting for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and West Ham.”
