Manchester United agrees with Bayern Munich defender

Manchester United has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to sign Noussair Mazraoui, the right-back from Bayern Munich, as he edges closer to a move to Old Trafford.

Initially, Mazraoui was in discussions with West Ham, but the potential deal fell through when the two sides could not come to an agreement. As a result, the Hammers are now shifting their focus to Manchester United’s right-back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is in the final year of his contract with the club.

The prospect of joining Manchester United is particularly appealing to Mazraoui as he looks forward to reuniting with Erik Ten Hag, with whom he spent four successful years at Ajax.

Ten Hag believes that Mazraoui can help maximize the potential of Antony, as the two enjoyed a strong partnership during their title-winning campaigns in 2020/21 and 2021/22, which offers a glimmer of hope to United supporters.

Why is Manchester United keen on Noussair Mazraoui? The club’s first-choice left-back, Luke Shaw, is absent from the US tour due to his participation in the European Championship with England, while his backup, Tyrell Malacia, missed the entire last season with a knee injury and is currently rehabilitating at the club’s Carrington training complex.
