Man United aiming to complete double deal and seal the signing of two superstars for £68m ‘in the next week’

Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign two of their main transfer targets, according to iNews.

Regarding Matthijs de Ligt, the Red Devils and Bayern Munich are now negotiating.

Because of his good familiarity with manager Erik ten Hag from their time at Ajax, the center-back has already approved the deal.

Man United hopes to sign him for a bargain £34 million, and they are in talks with the German powerhouses about a transfer cost.

At a comparable cost, the club is making headway in its chase of Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna.

It is anticipated that the negotiations will move more quickly now that Dan Ashworth is the sporting director, with the goal of completing the two transfers within the upcoming week.

Man Utd close to securing double transfer deal

The Dutchman has also fallen down the pecking order at the international level.

The 24-year-old will want to redeem himself and The red devils could offer him the perfect opportunity to do so.

With Raphael Varane’s exit, De Ligt could secure a regular starting role at right centre-back. His strong ball-playing skills and aerial presence would make him a good fit.

The centre-back has reportedly agreed a pay cut to push through a move to Old Trafford.

Zirkzee also appears prepared to accept a bigger challenge with the Red Devils. He was initially leaning towards AC Milan, but they have failed to agree terms with his agent.

United are ready to pay his £34m release clause and his agent commission of £13m. The 23-year-old striker will compete for a starting berth with Rasmus Hojlund.

If things go as planned, the club could confirm the arrivals of De Ligt and Zirkzee for a combined £68m next week
