Erik ten Hag has made defensive reinforcements at Old Trafford a top priority for the summer transfer window. The Red Devils have already splashed out £52 million ($66m) on teenage centre-half Leny Yoro – only to see him <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-leny-yoro-injury-fragility-suspected-broken-foot-three-months-psg-fitness-concerns/blt59c2f7164cb13044" target="_blank">ruled out for three months with a foot injury</a> picked up during pre-season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

United are now back in the market, with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5676135/2024/08/02/man-utd-transfers-de-ligt-mazraoui/?source=twitteruk&amp;utm_campaign=twitterfc&amp;utm_medium=social " target="_blank">The Athletic</a> claiming that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-matthijs-de-ligt-delay-bayern-munich-jonathan-tah-bayer-leverkusen/blt920bae0cc228da7a" target="_blank">two players at the Allianz Arena are in their sights</a>. An opening offer for Netherlands international De Ligt and Moroccan full-back Mazraoui has been knocked back.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Bayern have made the Premier League giants aware that a bigger fee will be required in order to complete two deals. De Ligt and Mazraoui have been informed that they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/matthijs-de-ligt-man-utd-switch-bayern-munich-training/blt6129e13be1a01ae2" target="_blank">do not figure in long-term plans under new head coach Vincent Kompany</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Both are said to have agreed personal terms with United, as five-year contracts wait for them to sign in England, but it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can reach a compromise that suits all parties before the next recruitment deadline passes.
