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. Mazraoui also worked with United manager, Ten Hag, at Ajax, and both players credited his impact on their development.
