The British Telegraph reported on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Manchester United was surprised that Bayern Munich rejected offers for Matthijs de Ligt and Nusair Mazraoui'
Manchester United is putting a lot of effort into strengthening its power in the transfer market this summer. It has already reinforced the rear and front line with the recruitment of Lenny Yoro and Joshua Girksey, but Manchester United want more players. In particular, the center back, which Yoro is out due to a metatarsal injury, and the right fullback position, which is in desperate need of reinforcement, are the positions that Manchester United wants to change the most.
The players that Coach Tenhach paid attention to were the students from Ajax. De Ligt and Mazraoui were listed as Manchester United's transfer priority.

It's been quiet since then. Manchester United were preparing for another recruitment without handing over a specific offer. He was preoccupied with recruiting Yoro. Rumors of a transfer between Manchester United and De Ligt have cooled since Yoro went to Manchester United. However, due to Yoro's injury, Manchester United were forced to bring De Ligt back and began negotiations with Bayern again.

Tenhach wanted Mazraoui because of Antony, who is considered the worst recruitment for Manchester United. Antony is considered one of the worst signings in Manchester United's history just two seasons after joining the club. He moved to Manchester United ahead of the 2022-2023 season, and although he invested a whopping 86 million pounds (about 140 billion won) at the time, it is safe to say that there was virtually no effect on recruiting Antony. Antony, who showed a bit of an easy performance in the first season, showed no presence at all in the second season, 2023-2024, angering fans with his worst performance.
Tenhach didn't give up on Antony, and even wanted to recruit Mazrawi to save him. However, Mazraoui showed a consistent performance since his transfer to Bayern in 2022, but he hardly showed what he expected when he was in Ajax. At the end of the season, Joshua Kimmich's return to fullback also led to a long time on the bench.

The Telegraph said 'Manchester United has already successfully reached a personal agreement with De Ligt and Mazraoui. However, the player camp, who believed United's offer was in line with what Bayern's club wanted, was embarrassed by the rejection of the offer.
It is unlikely that Bayern will raise the amount significantly at a time when it has made it clear that it can leave the two players. Manchester United are still hoping to make a deal with Bayern, he said, explaining that Manchester United are still hopeful about the situation.
Bayern drew a line at Manchester United's proposal, delaying the moment when De Ligt and Mazraoui reunite with Tenhach. Attention is also focusing on how high Manchester United will offer two players.
