Matthijs de Ligt ( Bayern Munich): 42.9 million pounds
After seeing Man United conceded 58 goals in the Premier League last season, coach Erik ten Hag understood that he needed to strengthen the "Red Devils" defense.
In addition, Man United should also reduce the average age of the defense with Jonny Evans (36 years old), Harry Maguire (31 years old) and Victor Lindelof (30 years old). One of the three names mentioned above could leave Old Trafford, as Ten Hag wants De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez to form a favorite central defender pair.
De Ligt is at the right age of 25, but he was not a regular at Bayern Munich last season. Therefore, there will be questions surrounding the physical issue of the Dutch player.
Noussair Mazraoui ( Bayern Munich): 17 million pounds
Man United feel Mazaroui will be an upgrade to Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back. In theory, this plan of the Old Trafford team is completely correct.
The Morocco international played a key role for Bayern last season in their run to the Champions League semi-finals. Moreover, Mazaroui's age of 26 is also in line with Man United's vision.
Like De Ligt, Mazaroui was also a former tenure student of Ten Hag at Ajax. Since taking charge of Man United, the Dutchman has always given priority to recruiting players who have played under him in the past.
Leny Yoro (Lille): £52 million
Paying £52 million to an 18-year-old would raise doubts, but Man United believe Yoro will become a mainstay of the defence in the coming years.
In addition, overtaking Real Madrid in this deal is also a significant boost in spirit for Man United. However, Yoro was injured during the US tour and could be out until early November.
The "Red Devils" may not need Yoro to immediately become a mainstay this season. However, the former Lille player must prove his development potential.
Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna): 36.5 million pounds
Man United need another quality striker to ease the scoring pressure on Rasmus Hojlund, who is just 21. In the context that Marcus Rashford has not yet regained his form, the responsibility placed on Zirkzee will be even greater.
Zirkzee is a promising Dutch striker with 12 goals for Bologna in Serie A last season. However, it may be too early to expect a 23-year-old player in a harsh environment like the Premier League.
