It has been widely reported that United had a double move for Bayern defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Mazraoui knocked back by the Bundesliga club, yet FootMercato indicates that the latter has been granted permission to fly to Manchester and complete his transfer to the Old Trafford side.

The deal is one that the 26-year-old is desperate to complete, having already knocked back the opportunity to sign for West Ham in the meantime.

Having been knocked back by Mazraoui, the Hammers have moved instead for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and with this transfer coming to a conclusion, it appears to have been the trigger for the deal to be done.

Sky Sports Deutschland reports: “After Niclas Fullkrug, Guido Rodriguez and Summerville, West Ham are now pushing to finalise the deal with Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

“West Ham are confident of finalising the deal in the next few days but for now no agreement with Man Utd has been reached. Verbal agreement with Wan-Bissaka is done. Contract until 2029.”

Mazraoui to join Man Utd

FootMercato, meanwhile, reports that “everything is done” in the deal to take Mazraoui to Old Trafford.

“Noussair Mazraoui will join Manchester United,” it is declared.

“Bayern Munich have authorised Mazraoui to join Man Utd. The Moroccan right-back will take a private flight in the next few days.

“If nothing changes, the medical test is booked for Tuesday.

“Contract valid until June 2029 plus one year as an option.

“Erik ten Hag wants Mazraoui for the Community Shield.”

This account is countered by Sky Sports, which claims there is still no agreement between the clubs, yet it appears that things are finally moving quickly to get this deal done.
