Erik ten Hag is urging Manchester United chiefs to complete a deal for Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui as he believes the 26-year-old can help one of his current players improve, according to reports.
Mazraoui came through the Ajax academy and went on to play 137 times in their first team, helping the Dutch giants win three Eredivisie titles and two Dutch Cups. But the right-back, who can also play as a left-back, left Ajax frustrated in the summer of 2022 as he ran down his contract with the club.
Mazraoui was linked with a move to Arsenal but instead joined German giants Bayern Munich on a free transfer. Since arriving at the Allianz Arena, the full-back has registered one goal and eight assists in 55 games, helping Bayern win the Bundesliga title during the 2022-23 season.
Mazraoui still has two years left to run on his Bayern contract, but he could end up joining a different club before the new campaign gets underway.
On Tuesday, it emerged that Matthijs de Ligt is not the only Bayern star Man Utd are interested in, as they have also identified Mazraoui as a potential replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
