Manchester United, like every summer, continue to look for new additions to their squad. According to ‘The Athletic’ journalist David Ornstein, the Old Trafford outfit submitted a joint bid for De Ligt and Mazraoui, but Bayern Munich rejected the proposal.
Erik ten Hag is set to continue as Manchester United manager this season and among his ambitions is the signing of two of his former Ajax players. The Mancunian side are working on securing the services of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the Red Devils made a joint bid for both players to Bayern Munich, but the offer was rejected. The Germans are demanding a higher amount to reach an agreement.

The Bundesliga side informed the two defenders that they were not counting on them at the start of the transfer window and that they would have to look for a way out, but this has not prevented them from being demanding. The Bavarian club’s refusal caught the players, who share the same agent, Rafaela Pimenta, by surprise.

Faced with Bayern’s tough stance, De Ligt and Mazraoui’s agent asked if the situation had changed, but the answer was that everything remained the same. Hence the confusion that has arisen.

The Englishmen have everything agreed with what they intend to be their new players. The contracts are for five years with an option to extend for a further year. The Teutons are the ones who are resisting despite not counting on them for next season.
