Manchester United have officially announced the acquisition of Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. The talented player has inked a four-year contract with the Red Devils, in a deal that could potentially reach £17 million.
This marks the second signing from the Bundesliga giants for Manchester United on Tuesday, with Matthijs de Ligt also joining the club. Mazraoui had previously joined Bayern in July 2022 and went on to make 55 appearances across all competitions during his two-year stint. Now, he finds himself reunited with Erik ten Hag, who had given him his debut at Ajax.
Despite only featuring in 19 Bundesliga matches last season, Mazraoui managed to create the third-highest number of chances among Bayern defenders, with a total of 15. This highlights his ability to make an impact on the pitch.
The news of Mazraoui’s arrival was also shared on Manchester United’s official Twitter account, where they welcomed the Morocco international to the club.
In an interview with United’s media channels, Mazraoui expressed his excitement about joining the team. He said, “It’s an incredible feeling to be a Manchester United player, and I cannot wait to walk out at Old Trafford wearing the red shirt. I know that I’m joining the club at an exciting time; everyone I’ve spoken to has the same ambition for us to win trophies together, and I can feel the determination to achieve that.”
Mazraoui also spoke highly of his reunion with Erik ten Hag, stating, “Erik ten Hag played an important part in my development as a player, so it is exciting to be reuniting with him as I enter the prime years of my career. I know what he expects from his players, and I will give everything to help the group be successful.”
With Mazraoui’s arrival, Manchester United now boasts four new signings this transfer window, including Joshua Zirkzee and Lenny Yoro. However, the club also bid farewell to Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who joined West Ham earlier in the day.
Overall, this signing adds depth and talent to Manchester United’s squad, as they continue to strengthen their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
