Manchester United transfers: Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui join from Bayern Munich

Manchester United have signed Bayern Munich pair Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui in a move that could cost nearly £60m.

De Ligt has signed a five-year contract, and Mazraoui a four-year deal, both with the option to extend for a further year.

Mazraoui could be immediately called upon by United to deputise at left-back for the injured Luke Shaw – who is expected to return after the first international break – when they host Fulham in the Premier League on Friday (20:00 BST).

United have agreed to pay £38.5m plus £4.3m in add-ons for 25-year-old centre-back De Ligt, who was captain of Erik ten Hag’s Ajax side that reached the 2019 Champions League semi-finals.

Morocco defender Mazraoui, 26, joins for an initial fee of £12.8m, with a further £4.3m in potential add-ons.

Mazraoui’s arrival was contingent on the exit of defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who joined West Ham on Tuesday for £15m.
