United fans will surely be delighted with this double transfer raid on Bayern for two proven defenders who can add quality and experience to Erik ten Hag’s first-team.
They are also two players Ten Hag knows well as he managed them both at Ajax, and it will be intriguing to see if he can get them back to their best at Old Trafford after neither quite showed their best form at Bayern.
MUFC had one of their worst seasons in a long time last term, so it’s vital that they get this summer’s transfer window right, especially with Leny Yoro already picking up an injury since his move from Lille.
That’s the kind of luck the Red Devils could really do without right now, but De Ligt and Mazraoui will give Ten Hag a lot more depth in defence, which has been a problem position for the club for some time now.
Well done.
They now have to strengthen the midfield and left back.
I suggest they get Manuel at all cost, even a loan deal. The other player worth following is Kone Manu
They are no looking at left back . Luke shaw is OFF & ON so they were to think on left back & adefensive midfielder b’se casemiro is not trusted. if not let them go 4 frenkie de jong.
