Manchester United have strengthened their squad by signing Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui in a deal that could total nearly £60 million.
De Ligt has committed to a five-year contract, while Mazraoui has signed for four years, with both deals including an option for an additional year.
Mazraoui is expected to step in at left-back for the injured Luke Shaw when United face Fulham in the Premier League on Friday.
United agreed to pay £38.5 million plus £4.3 million in add-ons for De Ligt, the 25-year-old centre-back who previously captained Erik ten Hag’s Ajax side during their 2019 Champions League run.
Mazraoui, who also worked under Ten Hag at Ajax, joins for an initial fee of £12.8 million, with potential add-ons of £4.3 million.
De Ligt expressed his eagerness to reunite with Ten Hag, stating, “He shaped the early stages of my career and knows how to get the best out of me. I’m determined to succeed at this special club.”
Mazraoui echoed this sentiment, saying, “I know what he expects from his players, and I’ll give everything to help the team be successful.”
Mazraoui’s arrival coincided with Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s departure to West Ham for £15 million.
