Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui have arrived at Munich Airport ahead of completing their moves to Manchester United.
United agreed deals for De Ligt and Mazraoui over the weekend as the club close in on sealing a sensational double swoop from Bayern Munich that will transform Erik ten Hag‘s defence.
De Ligt is set to arrive in a £43m switch that will see the Red Devils pay around £38m up front with £5m due in add-ons.
The Netherlands international, a key target for Ten Hag this summer, will join on a five-year contract that includes the option to extend by another 12 months.
Meanwhile, Bayern also accepted a £17m bid from United for full back Mazraoui, a proposal of worth an initial £13m plus £4m in bonuses.

Bolstering his options at the heart of his backline has been a priority for the United boss ahead of the new season.
Morocco right back Mazraoui has entered the final year of his deal at Bayern and can also play at left back, a position that has proven to be problematic for United over the past 12 months.
The duo share the same agent with Rafaela Pimenta representing them since the death of Mino Raiola in 2022.
Mazraoui’s move had been dependent on Aaron Wan-Bissaka departing Old Trafford.
West Ham thrashed out a £15m fee with United for the full back but the former Crystal Palace star had to tie up financial loose ends with the Red Devils before joining the East London club.
However, on Sunday night, United finally reached agreement with Wan-Bissaka, who is set to undergo his Hammers medical on Monday, with the defender’s exit freeing up funds for the double swoop of Mazraoui and De Ligt.
