In today’s Man Utd transfer news - Manchester United have agreed a fee with Bayern Munich to sign Noussair Mazraoui. Man United are paying €15m plus €5m on add-ons for the Moroccan international. Mazraoui becomes the second Moroccan player for Manchester United after Sofyan Amrabat who joined the club last year on a loan deal from Fiorentina.

Manchester United had to sell Wan-Bissaka to sign Mazraoui. They did that successfully as West Ham signed him. After that, it was only a matter of time before Mazraoui would join Manchester United.
