Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui arrive at Man Utd in matching black Mercedes vans to seal £60m double transfer
United also set for huge boost further up the pitch
BAYERN MUNICH stars Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui have arrived at Carrington ahead of their £60million double transfer to Manchester United.
The pair are Erik ten Hag’s top targets following the £52m transfer of French defender Leny Yoro and earlier £34m arrival of Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee.
And a mega-deal looks imminent after De Ligt and Mazraoui were spotted arriving at Carrington on Monday morning.
The pair arrived in matching black Mercedes vans after catching a flight to Manchester earlier on.
And they will undergo medical tests later today as United prepare to announce the signings.
Earlier this morning, De Light and Mazraoui boarded a flight to the UK at Munich airport.
The two defenders were all-smiles as they rocked up in private cars to the tarmac.
De Ligt made his way into the terminal on his own, carrying a large rucksack and even bigger suitcase.
While Morocco star Mazraoui opted for a personal bag as a minder wheeled a smaller case behind him.
United are expected to pay around £45m for centre-back De Ligt, with Mazraoui – who also played with the Dutchman at Ajax – costing just £15m.

Both men are familiar with Ten Hag, having played under United’s boss in Amsterdam for several seasons.
The move will see them join fellow ex-Ajax stars Andre Onana, Antony and Lisandro Martinez at Old Trafford.
And with United struggling with several fitness worries at the back, De Ligt and Mazraoui could both be thrust into the starting XI for Friday’s season opener against Fulham.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils are set for a further boost further up the pitch.
That’s because Bruno Fernandes has agreed terms on a lucrative new contract potentially keeping him at the club for the rest of his career.
Doubts had emerged over the captain’s future amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
Fernandes had also hinted at quitting at leading United to FA Cup glory against Man City.
But in the wake of Saturday’s Community Shield defeat to the champs on penalties, Fernandes is now set to commit his future under Ten Hag.
