Manchester United should complete the signings of Bayern Munich duo Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt this month according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.
After a quiet start to the window United have completed the signings of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee and are working on a number of other deals.
The Red Devils are in conversations over a possible move for Burnley midfielder Sander Berge, whilst they are also pursuing another centre back.
De Ligt and Mazraoui should join United this month
Centre back has become more of a pressing issue after Yoro was ruled out for around three months through injury and United are still working to get a deal done for De Ligt.
United have also agreed personal terms with Morocco international Mazraoui, but before they can sign the right back they reportedly need to offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who only has one year remaining on his deal and is attracting interest from West Ham.
Things currently seem to be at a bit of an impasse, but Plettenberg has reported that if everything goes to plan the pair should join United this month.
He took to X.com and said:

“If all goes to plan, a double transfer will be completed. Positive and ongoing negotiations between the clubs are underway. ManUtd and Erik ten Hag are pushing for both players. Bayern willing to sell. No deals are done yet, but progress is being made.#MUFC”
