Romano provides Man Utd transfer update

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester United are still in hot pursuit of Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

Erik ten Hag worked with both Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui at Ajax and the Bayern Munich defenders have been heavily linked with a move to United.

The United boss is keen to reinforce his centre-back options after Leny Yoro’s injury, with De Ligt seen as a preferred target ahead of Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite.

Noussair Mazraoui was linked with West Ham and the Hammers had agreed a fee to sign the Bayern full-back before a move to the London club collapsed.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Romano said: “The negotiation is ongoing between Manchester United and Bayern, and they [United] already had a bid rejected, but they are increasingly confident because they have an agreement with both players, for a five-year contract plus option for both of them, and they absolutely want to join Manchester United.

“De Ligt has been waiting since June, and Mazraoui’s agreement was reached in July, so both players are giving total priority to Manchester United.”
