The Red Devils have been in constant negotiations with Bayern for the Dutchman and they have eventually sealed the deal.

United will pay an initial €45 million for the Netherlands international with a further €5m in the form of performance add-ons.

De Ligt has already accepted terms over a five-year contract. He is expected to sign the same following his medical on Sunday.

The arrival of the 24-year-old should provide some relief for United, who are without new signing Leny Yoro for three months.

Yoro sustained an ankle injury in pre-season against Arsenal and he subsequently underwent a surgery earlier this week.

Meanwhile, United are also expected to land the signature of Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern in the next 24 to 48 hours.

They have agreed a fee in the region of €15m with €5m in add-ons. He is expected to join as soon as Aaron Wan-Bissaka leaves.
