According to legend, Manchester United is close to making its second acquisition of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's tenure.
Manchester United is said to be "very confident" that this week's filing of their first new signing of the summer will be completed.
The Red Devils are set for a busy summer in the transfer industry as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team taking the transfer glass vehicle for the first time since the businessman completed his majority stakeholding earlier this year.
After next season's eighth- placed end, there is plenty of work to do with the squad, with defence being one of their important priorities after they conceded 58 times in the Premier League next term.
This has seen the team linked with a move for Netherlands defender Matthijs de Ligt in subsequent days, with the player said to be ready to leave Bayern Munich and return with his former Ajax director Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
After fruitful discussions with their European counterparts, Manchester United believe they did "largely finalize the transfer" this month, according to Fussball News.
Bayern put a €50million pricing on the 24- yr- outdated, with the Red Devils hoping to believe on a package for €40million, plus include- ons, which would include a sell- on clause.
De Ligt, who is willing to accept a split in De Ligt's €15 million earnings, is also said to have spoken with the club, and Bayern will use the funds to pay for the purchase of Jonathan Tah by Bayer Leverkusen.
The report adds that one lingering question is when a physician will take place, given that De Ligt is now absent in Germany with the Netherlands at Euro 2024, meaning that Gareth Southgate could do the Red Devils a favour by knocking out the French and speeding up a deal when they meet England in Wednesday's semi- last.
