United grant Ten Hag's wishes in £60m swoop for Bayern pair

The United manager, Erik ten Hag, had made it plain to the board that he needed to reinforce his squad after last season was blighted by injuries. And the coach has had his wishes granted with De Light and Mazraoui boosting his options. The double transfer comes on the day that Aaron Wan-Bissaka's departure to West Ham was confirmed.

De Ligt, who played under Ten Hag at Ajax, has agreed a five-year contract with the option of another year.
