Liverpool might have inadvertently helped Manchester United sell a first-team player this summer. Having completed deals for Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee already, United are expected to sign Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich imminently.
The Manchester Evening News understands United have had offers - worth £17million and £41million respectively - accepted by the Bundesliga giants.
It marks another double reunion for Erik ten Hag - who managed both players during his Ajax days - as key figures behind the scenes continue to refresh the options available to him.
Barring confirmation, United have spent above £150million this summer and still have their eye on further additions - but that will be shaped by player sales.
