Amount Revealed: Man Utd Set To Table Improved Bid For Bayern Duo

Manchester United are keen to sign Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui but delays in their pursuits have caused tensions at the German club

United have been in negotiations with Bayern to sign De Ligt, with Erik ten Hag keen to reunite with the centre-back after working together at former club Ajax.

Man Utd have seen their first official bid turned down by Bayern with the German club demanding a much higher fee for the Dutch center-back.

Sky Germany are reporting that United are also targeting De Ligt’s club teammate, Noussair Mazraoui.

The Moroccan defender can operate in either full-back position and also played under Ten Hag at Ajax, breaking into the first-team under the Dutchman during the 2018-19 season.

The 26-year-old is free to leave Bayern, who value Mazraoui at €20m – €25m. However, there is a feeling that the Germans could do business at around €15m (£12.6m) due to their need to sell before buying further players this summer.

Should the duo arrive at Manchester United, it will continue Ten Hag’s recruitment of players he has previously worked with.

Lisandro Martinez, Andre Onana and Antony all played under Ten Hag at Ajax before moving to the Premier League.
