Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth claims the two European giants are now ‘advancing’ in on Saturday night.

Reports have suggested that the Reds are targeting a double raid at Bayern as they hope to land both the Moroccan international and centre-half target Matthijs de Ligt.

While speculation strongly suggests that the club must first sanction Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s arrival before welcoming a new right-back, it certainly hasn’t stopped United’s attempts to get a deal lined up.

The Bayern Munich fullback is keen to reunite with former coach Erik ten Hag, and any potential transfer would see him join United’s ex-Ajax contingent of Andre Onana, Antony and Lisandro Martinez – all of which played under the Dutchman in Amsterdam.
