Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt are on their way to England to complete a double transfer to Manchester United.
The pair were both filmed at Munich airport, as relayed by Sky Germany reporter, Florian Plettenberg.
Presumably they are sharing a private jet, as De Ligt said to a reporter “Noussair is waiting for me!” as he arrived.
Excl | Matthijs #DeLigt now also at Munich Airport and on his way to Manchester now!
De Ligt to @SkySport_Ben:
„Noussair is waiting for me!“
Medical booked for today as reported. Signing of his contract until 2029 + 1 after that. #MUFC @hannessude | @SkySportDE pic.twitter.com/j38BnFANOX

United clinched the double deal with Bayern Munich on Saturday after weeks of negotiation. The combined fee for the pair is €60 million (£51.3m) plus up to €10 million (£8.56m) in bonuses.
It seems like a fantastic piece of business for co-owners Ineos.
Mazaraoui is being bought for half his market value of €30 million, and De Ligt for less than 2/3rds his, as per transfermarkt.com.
What’s more, Bayern have agreed to spread the payments for both players out over three years, meaning the outlay for 2024/25 will only be £20 million.
If both medicals are passed, with personal terms already fully agreed, both signings could be completed today.
United will then have to get work permits organised and in theory, both players could be available for selection against Fulham in Friday’s Premier League opener.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is heading out of Old Trafford, with his deal to West Ham also expected to be completed today, making room for Mazraoui.
His fee will be £15 million, more than Mazraoui, and making this year’s net spend on today’s outs and ins only £5 million, absolutely brilliant business by Ineos.
