Manchester United are making significant strides in the summer transfer window, with a strong focus on strengthening their defense. The club is close to securing Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraoui and has ongoing conversations about signing Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt.
Manchester United are hopeful of signing Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich, with Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirming that an agreement has been reached. The deal, which could keep Mazraoui at Old Trafford until 2030, will reunite him with Erik ten Hag, his former coach at Ajax. United have identified the right-back position as a priority, especially with uncertainties surrounding Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s future.
The transfer window has already been promising for United, with the acquisitions of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. However, INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe seem intent on further bolstering the squad.
According to Romano, Mazraoui’s agreement with United is a five-year contract valid until June 2029, with an option to extend for an additional year. This structure mirrors the deals made for Yoro and Zirkzee. Romano reported, “Understand the agreement reached between Man United and Noussair Mazraoui is on a five-year deal valid until June 2029. It also includes an option for a further year, 2030. Same as Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro. Mazraoui, waiting for United… as they’ve to sell Wan-Bissaka.”
Mazraoui, praised as “world-class” by the official Ajax website, is expected to compete with Diogo Dalot for the right-back position. However, his signing hinges on the sale of Wan-Bissaka, with Romano indicating that United might need to finalize Wan-Bissaka’s departure first.
Sky Sports has reported that West Ham United are in talks with Manchester United over Wan-Bissaka, who is valued at over £15 million. The Hammers could secure his signature, facilitating Mazraoui’s arrival at Old Trafford.
Mazraoui’s stats from the 2023/24 Bundesliga season highlight his potential impact:
– **Games**: 19
– **Assists**: 3
– **Pass Accuracy**: 88.3%
– **Progressive Passes per 90**: 7.74
– **Key Passes per 90**: 1.13
– **Tackles per 90**: 2.41
– **Interceptions per 90**: 1.5
In addition to Mazraoui, Manchester United are also pursuing Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. Romano has confirmed that ongoing conversations between the clubs indicate de Ligt’s strong desire to move to Old Trafford. The Dutch defender views this opportunity as a dream come true.
Despite securing Leny Yoro, United are still in the market for another centre-back. While Yoro is seen as a long-term investment, de Ligt would provide an immediate boost to the squad’s defensive capabilities.
Manchester United’s summer transfer activities reflect a clear strategy to strengthen their defense with top-tier talent. The potential addition of Noussair Mazraoui, combined with the pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt, highlights the club’s ambition under Erik ten Hag. As negotiations continue, the outcomes of these deals will significantly shape United’s squad for the upcoming season.
