Manchester United have taken a major step forward in their bid to sign Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Man Utd have received a “green light” to sign the Dutch duo, with both players wanting to join the club after discussions with Ten Hag.

De Ligt is expected to cost €50 million, while Zirkzee has a €40m release clause included in his current Bologna contract.

Man Utd are yet to agree a deal with either Bayern Munich or Bologna, but they are reportedly confident of reaching an agreement in the coming weeks.

Greenwood spent last season on loan at LaLiga side Getafe and he reportedly favours a permanent move back to Spain.

The 22-year-old has been pictured training in Manchester with Shola Shoretire, who has left Old Trafford upon the expiration of his Red Devils contract.

Sofyan Amrabat ‘dreams’ of permanent move

Sofyan Amrabat is dreaming of a Man Utd return, according to Corriere dello Sport (via The Mirror).

The Fiorentina midfielder spent last season on loan at Old Trafford and he is eager to make the move permanent this summer.

Man Utd had previously distanced themselves from signing Amrabat, but the Red Devils could change their mind amid the Moroccan’s desire to return.

Amrabat is expected to cost roughly €15m this summer.

Bremer ‘flattered’ by interest

Juventus defender Bremer has acknowledged interest from Man Utd, but the Brazilian has admitted that he is happy in Turin.

The 26-year-old is currently on international duty at the Copa America and he told reporters: “I am flattered by the interest of some top clubs but I am already in a great team like Juventus.”

Bremer had been identified as a key summer target, although Man Utd’s pursuit of De Ligt may end their interest in the Juventus star.

Desire Doue blow

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made Man Utd target Desire Doue a “top priority” as they look to fend off multiple Premier League clubs in the race to sign the Stade Rennais teenager.

Both London clubs have initiated contact with Rennes and are eager to finalise a deal by next week, according to The Sun.

Doue scored four goals and provided six assists in 42 appearances last season.
