Manchester United simultaneously recruited center back Matthijs de Ligt and fullback Nusair Mazraoui, who played for Bayern Munich on the 14th (Korea time). British public broadcaster 'BBC' reported that Manchester United spent £60 million (about 105 billion won) on recruiting the two players.
As the two players join with the opening of the season just around the corner, changes in Manchester United's lineup are inevitable.
Transfer media 'Transfermarkt' unveiled Manchester United's expected lineup for the 2024-2025 season, which includes De Ligt and Mazraoui.
In the 4-2-3-1 formation, the media expected Rasmus Hailun to be at the forefront and Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford to be in charge of both sides of the attack.
Bruno Fernandes will play a playmaker role in the center of the second line, and Kobe Mainu and Casemiro will play a double volanche.

The goalkeeper is Andre Onana.
The market value of Manchester United's expected starting lineup of 11 players is 530 million euros (about 800 billion won).
De Ligt's addition to "proven center backs" has strengthened the defense. However, the offense's composition remains the same last season, which was the worst performance ever, raising concerns.
With the addition of De Ligt and Mazraoui, the number of students during Manchester United coach Erik tenhach's Ajax days has increased to four. Currently, there are a total of five disciples of Coach Tenhach in the Manchester United squad, and the other is 'Snip'Antony. For this reason, the sports media 'ESPN' referred to Manchester United as 'Ajax United (Ajax + Manchester United)'.
Manchester United does not stop here and is also pushing for the reinforcement of the central midfielder. Sander Berge (Burnley) and Manuel Ugarte (Paris Saint-Germain) are strong candidates for recruitment.
Manchester United lost the Community City final against Manchester City on the 10th after a penalty shootout and missed the championship trophy. On the 17th, he will bring Fulham home to play the opening game of the EPL.
