BREAKING: Man Utd agree deal to sign Bayern Munich defender

Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Matthijs de Light from Bayern Munich.

The move will be worth €50m (£42.9m), with an initial €45m (£38.6m) plus €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons.

The transfer is subject to De Ligt passing a medical, with personal terms not expected to be a problem.

He would need to be registered by midday on Thursday to be available for Manchester United’s opening Premier League match against Fulham on Friday.
