Source: Man Utd close in on Mazraoui, De Ligt
Written by I Dig SportsManchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is nearing a move to West Ham United, a source has told ESPN, which is set to lead to Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt moving to Old Trafford.
Wan-Bissaka was left out of the United squad for Saturday's Community Shield clash with Manchester City at Wembley and has a medical examination with West Ham scheduled to take place on Sunday.
Manager Erik ten Hag suggested at a news conference on Friday that he was a doubt because of an injury problem, but a source has told ESPN that the 26-year-old is close to agreeing a transfer to West Ham.
Last week, sources told ESPN that Wan-Bissaka and West Ham were apart on personal terms, but it's understood that an agreement is now close.
United have valued Wan-Bissaka, who has also been the subject of interest from Galatasaray, at between 15-20 million.
Once his move to West Ham is confirmed, United are set to sign De Ligt and Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
United, according to a source, have agreed a deal in principle to sign the pair for a combined 60m, including add-ons.
The deal United have agreed would see them pay around 51m for the pair with another 9m payable in performance-related add-ons. Personal terms are not expected to be a problem with both players keen to move to Old Trafford.
The deal is set to take United's summer spending towards 140m after also signing striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna and defender Leny Yoro from Lille.
