Manchester United have agreed to a £43 million deal with Bayern Munich for Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt. The agreement includes £38.5 million upfront for the player, who is keen to leave Bayern after a challenging season. De Ligt has a strong history with United's manager Erik ten Hag from their time at Ajax, and personal terms aren't expected to be an issue.
Leny Yoro, a promising 18-year-old French center-back, is on the brink of joining Manchester United in a transfer deal valued at up to €70 million. Although he initially leaned towards Real Madrid, the Spanish club couldn't meet Lille's asking price, leading to an agreement with Manchester United. Yoro is currently in the UK for his medical and finalizing personal terms, highlighting United's determination in bolstering their defense.
