Manchester United Rope In Matthijs De Light And Noussair Mazraoui From Bayern Munich

Manchester United announced the signings of Matthijs de Light and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

De Light has signed a contract until June 2029, with the option to extend for a further year while the Morocco international has signed a contract until June 2028.

At the age of 25, De Ligt has already won the league title in three countries with Ajax, Juventus, and Bayern Munich. The former Kopa Trophy and Golden Boy winner has made 324 club appearances and has 45 international caps.

Mazraoui, 26, has won four league titles, three with Ajax and one with Bayern Munich. The full-back has made 28 appearances for his country and was a key part of the team that reached the semi-final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

“As soon as I heard that Manchester United wanted me, I felt an excitement about the opportunity for a new challenge at such an historic club. In the conversations that followed, I was impressed by the vision that the football leadership set out, and the role they saw for me in it,” de Light said.

“It’s an incredible feeling to be a Manchester United player, and I cannot wait to walk out at Old Trafford wearing the red shirt. I know that I’m joining the club at an exciting time; everyone I’ve spoken to has the same ambition for us to win trophies together and I can feel the determination to achieve that,” Mazraoui said.

Manchester United will begin their Premier League 2024-25 season on August 17.
