Noussair Mazraoui “authorised” to join Manchester United as club “expecting” fresh bid for star

According to fresh reports, Bayern Munich have “authorised” Noussair Mazraoui’s transfer to Manchester United this summer.

Manchester United have seemingly landed their third signing of the summer as Noussair Mazraoui‘s move to Old Trafford has been “authorised” but his current club, Bayern Munich.

This is according to FootMercarto journalist Santi Aouna, who states that Erik ten Hag wants his former Ajax player to rejoin him in time to be ready for the Community Shield against Manchester City, due to kick off on Saturday, 10 August.

It is claimed that, unless something changes, Mazraoui’s medical tests are booked for Tuesday, and he will sign a contract valid until June 2029, with the option to extend for a further year.

Interestingly, it seems as if Bayern have only given the green light for this transfer despite the fact that United submitted a double bid for both Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Old Trafford club are reportedly “expecting” a new bid from West Ham for Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the coming days.

This is according to The Mirror, who claim that Wan-Bissaka continues to be a key target for new Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui.

It is said that although West Ham are yet to meet the £15 million asking price, he has now agreed personal terms with the London outfit, and a new bid is expected soon.

United need Wan-Bissaka to move on for the Mazraoui transfer to be finalised, but with both players drawing ever closer to their respective moves, it feels as if it is inevitable that the switches will occur.

Mazraoui is said to be keen to work with Ten Hag again after both parties found success at Ajax. Mazraoui will join as competition for Diogo Dalot.
