Man United offered chance to sign another Bayern Munich defender

Manchester United are considering a repeat of last summer's transfer plan as the club weighs up a move for yet another Bayern Munich defender, according to a report from Germany. Twice bitten, not shy Matthijs de Ligt, 26, and Noussair Mazraoui, 27, were signed in a joint raid on the Allianz Arena last year to reunite the pair with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, having both previously played for the Dutch manager with Ajax. Their combined fee totalled over £60 million with add-ons – an expensive outlay but a reasonable one given the pair's experience at the highest level in European football relative to their respective ages. Both De Ligt and Mazraoui are primed for important roles this season, despite Ten Hag having been replaced by Ruben Amorim in November, as the former Sporting manager's 3-4-2-1 system employs an extra central defender – a role both players are comfortable fulfilling. De Ligt has primarily operated as the central centre-back in this system (CCB) and the Dutchman offers more athleticism than his competitor for the position, Harry Maguire. Mazraoui, typically a fullback throughout his career, has often played as one of the two centre-backs on the outside, though the Morocco international can also play as a wing-back. But United are reported to be considering a move for another Bayern defender with France international Dayot Upamecano 'on their radar,' according to Christian Falk. Upamecano on the radar Upamecano, 26, is a central defender with outstanding athleticism and high levels of technical ability. He he won multiple trophies with Bayern as well as the World Cup with France in 2018. Speaking to German outlet CFBayern, Falk reveals the 'Red Devils have included the 26-year-old on their list of priorities, as his contract is set to expire next summer.' The Bundesliga expert states Upamecano's agent, Moussa Sissoko, has 'offered his client to Premier League clubs' with 'interest' from United. 'Bayern are pushing hard to reach an agreement with Upamecano over a new deal, but as of now, there has been little or no progress. The negotiations are dragging on for a long time, and it is leaving Bayern frustrated, as surely they do not want another Leroy Sane saga to unfold.' Bayern boss Vincent Kompany is reported to consider Upamecano a key part of his starting eleven alongside new signing Jonathan Tah, so it remains to be seen whether INEOS can prise another defensive jewel from Die Roten to join Amorim's revolution at Old Trafford.

'I leave defenders behind for breakfast': Leverkusen signs young Dutch winger Ernest Poku

LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP) — Bayer Leverkusen signed speedy young winger Ernest Poku from AZ Alkmaar on Tuesday to strengthen its Dutch connection under new coach Erik ten Hag. Poku can play on both wings and his pace attracted attention in the Europa League last season. Born in Germany, he reached the semifinals of the European under-21 championship with the Netherlands. The 21-year-old arrives on a five-year contract. Leverkusen announced his signing on social media with an image of the character Lightning McQueen from the movie 'Cars' and a compilation of clips of Poku dribbling past defenders. 'I leave defenders behind for breakfast,' Poku said in the video. 'Faster than fast. Quicker than quick. I am Ernest Poku.' He's already played four games in the 2025-26 season, scoring one goal and setting up two more, thanks to Alkmaar's involvement in Europa Conference League qualifying and the start of the Dutch league last week. Ahead of Ten Hag's first competitive game as Leverkusen coach in the German Cup on Friday, Poku joins Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken as a new signing. The club has also brought in American forward Malik Tillman from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. It's part of a broader rebuild after coach Xabi Alonso left for Real Madrid and players from Leverkusen's title-winning 2023-24 season left, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka. The scale of the changes led striker Patrik Schick to say last month that he didn't expect Leverkusen to be able to fight for the Bundesliga title without significant signings. ___
