Man United could make three more signings this month after De Ligt and Mazraoui deal completed

Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich has agreed to join Manchester United for £43 million, and Noussair Mazraoui will follow suit if Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s move to West Ham frees up a space in Erik ten Hag’s squad.

However, Dan Ashworth, the sporting director, might not finish his summer transfer business there.

Man United struggled to an embarrassing eighth-place Premier League finish the previous season, and their extensive injury problems made it clear that they needed more depth.

Even if the De Ligt and Mazraoui trades go through, Express Sport goes over three additional players Ten Hag might bring to Old Trafford in this article.

The 16-year-old’s move to United is yet to be formally signed off, although most of the important elements, including his medical, are already complete.

The signing of Obi-Martin would signify a major coup for Ten Hag, as the teenager obliterated Arsenal’s Under-18s scoring record last season.

Racking up a staggering 32 goals in 20 games, Obi-Martin devastated Gunners supporters by opting to run down his contract and pursue a new challenge outside of north London.

That challenge is set to unfold in Manchester, pending the agreement of a compensation package with Arsenal. And although he may not be ready for Ten Hag’s senior side just yet, his arrival is certainly worth celebrating.

Ten Hag will be hoping for an upgrade on the Moroccan, who impressed in flashes but broadly underwhelmed.

The Red Devils are believed to be in talks with the representatives of Burnley midfielder Sander Berge and AS Monaco star Youssouf Fofana.

Both players would be useful options for the manager to have at his disposal, although the club are seemingly intent on holding out for a good-value deal, having recently walked away from discussions over Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte over a significant gap in valuation.
