Manchester United are making moves both on and off the field, with recent developments pointing towards a busy period ahead for the Red Devils. The club has reportedly agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui, who is keen on the move. The Moroccan defender shares the same agent as Bayern teammate Matthijs de Ligt, which has helped smooth negotiations. While there are no issues on the agreement with Bayern, the deal’s completion hinges on United finding a solution for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is reportedly close to agreeing terms with West Ham.

In addition to player transfers, Manchester United have ambitious plans for their infrastructure. The club is considering moving away from Old Trafford and building a new 100,000-seater stadium. The project, favoured by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, would involve constructing a state-of-the-art facility from scratch rather than renovating the existing structure. Reports indicate that the new stadium could be built on land adjacent to the current Old Trafford site at an estimated cost of £2 billion, with a target completion within the next six years.
