Manchester United have opened talks to sign Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui, who is eager to make the move to the Premier League.
With the new Premier League season now just over three weeks away, United have moved quickly to bolster their squad with Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro already enlisted.
United are also in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a move for Manuel Ugarte with a new midfielder also on their list of targets but they are also looking to strengthen in full-back positions.
Sky Sports Germany report United officials are now exploring a deal to sign Bayern right-back Mazraoui, another player who previously starred under Erik ten Hag at Bayern Munich.
Mazraoui left Amsterdam to join Bayern the same summer ten Hag took the reins at Old Trafford with a reunion in Manchester now a possibility. West Ham United however are also keen on the Morocco international with both Premier League sides holding ‘concrete talks’ over a move.
Bayern are open to selling Mazraoui this summer and are hoping to collect a fee of between €25million [£21m] and €20million [£16.8m]. But United and West Ham consider €15m [£12.6m] to €20m [£16.8m] to be a more realistic price.
Mazraoui started 15 Bundesliga matches for Bayern last season, providing four assists in all competitions.

Diogo Dalot will start United’s season as first-choice right-back after a superb 2023-24 campaign but Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s departure would open up another spot in the squad.

West Ham are believed to be the side most interested in signing the former Crystal Palace star who has just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford.
In addition to Mazraoui, United also remain in talks with Bayern Munich over Matthijs de Ligt.
Despite the signing of Yoro, they remain keen on another option at centre-half following the departures of Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala with the futures of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof still uncertain.
De Ligt is keen to make the move but United’s opening bid of around £30m is someway short of Bayern’s valuation.
