Manchester United are set to complete their third and fourth signings of the summer early in the upcoming week, with medicals booked for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, according to reports.
After the additions of striker Joshua Zirkzee and centre-back Leny Yoro from Bologna and Lille respectively, Man Utd have been working on a double deal with Bayern Munich for De Ligt and Mazraoui to add to their defence.
Over the weekend, Man Utd had bids accepted for both centre-half De Ligt and right-back Mazraoui. All in, the combined transfers would cost €70m (£59.9m) including add-ons.
And there now seems to be a strong chance of both deals going through in time for the new players to be eligible for Man Utd’s Premier League opener against Fulham on Friday.
As reported by Sky Sports Deutschland expert Florian Plettenberg, medicals have been scheduled for De Ligt and Mazraoui on Monday, with both players already having said their goodbyes to their Bayern teammates.
Plettenberg has also confirmed that €70m is the likely sum Man Utd will end up paying, since the add-ons are ‘easy to achieve’.
The fee they have agreed for De Ligt is €45m (£38.5m) rising to €50m (£42.8m), while Mazraoui’s is €15m (£12.8m) rising to €20m (£17.1m).
