Transfer: Man Utd gets green light to sign two new players

Bologna forward, Joshua Zirkzee and Bayern Munich defender, Matthijs de Ligt, have given their green light for a move to Manchester United this summer.

Zirkzee has a €40 million release clause in his current contract while De Ligt will cost United around €50 million.

According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on X this Sunday: “Manchester United have green light from both Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt to join the club.

“Both players have spoken to Erik ten Hag with Man United now ready to advance on the club side in the coming days.

“It’s all approved on salary/commission also for Zirkzee.”

United’s transfer business has been delayed by uncertainty around manager Erik ten Hag’s future.

The former Ajax boss has now signed a contract extension at Old Trafford.
