FEE AGREED: Manchester United set to welcome another superstar signing tomorrow,after reaching verbal agreement on a 4yr deal – player to arrive with representative today

During the most recent Premier League season, Manchester United frequently let goals slip through, and so far, nothing appears to have changed.

The Red Devils were defeated 3-0 by Liverpool yesterday after losing 2-1 to Arsenal a few days ago during their preseason tour of the United States.

Leny Yoro was acquired by United by paying a hefty price to beat out major European teams, but the adolescent will now need to spend a significant amount of time recovering.

As a result, Man United needs to spend big money to bolster the centre defence and has been connected to Mathijs de Ligt.

De Ligt and Manchester United have reportedly verbally agreed to a £200,000-per-week contract, according to a story exclusively reported by GMS.

To finalise the signing from Bayern Munich, the Old Trafford club is still unwilling to pay the requested sum of £45 million plus bonuses.

According to The Telegraph, Man United and De Ligt have already finalised the details of a five-year contract, and the Bavarians have rejected a proposal for the Dutchman.

The 24-year-old celebrity has so signed a deal that will pay him £52 million over the course of the next five years, or £200,000 a week.

With three years remaining on his deal, the Netherlands international is currently earning £263,000 a week with the German Bundesliga team.

De Ligt’s willingness to accept a pay decrease in order to join Manchester United is therefore unexpected.

In the 2024–25 season, will he be eligible to play for fellow countryman Erik ten Hag? Time will tell.
