Manchester United are looking to complete the signing of Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui after West Ham United’s move for him fell through, while Fabrizio Romano has provided a key update on the future of his team-mate Matthijs de Ligt.
Man Utd have already landed Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro this summer but are pursuing several other stars as they try to give Erik ten Hag all the tools needed to start challenging Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool. This could see another centre-back, a central midfielder, another striker and two full-backs arrive at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag knows Bayern well after previously coaching their second team and Man Utd are in talks over two of their players.
De Ligt was the first star to be discussed by the two clubs, but earlier this week it emerged that Man Utd are interested in Mazraoui too as they hunt a new right-back who can replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Ten Hag views Mazraoui as someone who can get the best out of right winger Antony, as all three worked together at Dutch giants Ajax.
But on Thursday, West Ham breezed past Man Utd in the race for Mazraoui and struck an agreement with Bayern over his capture.
