Man Utd seal €70m double signing as Red Devils agree Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui transfer fees with Bayern Munich

Per The Athletic's David Ornstein, the Red Devils have reached an agreement with Bayern Munich over the transfer of Dutch centre-back De Ligt. The deal is worth €45 million (£38m/$49m) plus €5m (£4m/$5m) in add-ons. The 24-year-old is expected to undergo his medical soon before formally putting pen to paper on a five-year contract with an option to extend it by 12 months.

The report adds that United have also agreed on a separate deal with the Bavarian club for the transfer of their right-back Mazraoui. The Premier League giants have agreed to pay €15m (£12m/$15m) plus €5m (£4m/$5m) in bonuses. However, the deal is subject to Aaron Wan-Bissaka moving out of Old Trafford this summer who is all set to join West Ham.

Erik ten Hag's side are also considering signing former Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso on a free transfer. The 29-year-old Spaniard can play as a central defender as well as a left full-back.

The reigning FA Cup champions will play their first competitive match of the new season on Saturday as they take on rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley.
