Manchester United are eyeing up a sensational double signing for the second summer in a row, this time targeting two exciting midfielders.
Last summer saw the Bayern Munich duo of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui arrive at Old Trafford as The Red Devils looked to strengthen their defence.
Whilst the pair were signed under Erik ten Hag for a 4-4-2 system with Mazraoui set for his natural right-back role, the duo have become essential parts of Ruben Amorim’s back three.
Mazraoui has adapted perfectly to fit in as a right-sided centre-back, being one of Amorim’s most used players, whilst de Ligt has only missed out on game-time due to injury.
Now, United are looking to make a double move again, however, from somewhere much closer to home.

Manchester United line up move for Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham
UtdDistrict has reported that United are looking to sign the midfield duo of Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland this summer.
The Red Devils have been monitoring the pair for some time as part of their new recruitment strategy of signing young stars with heaps of potential.
The duo are regarded as two of the most exciting young midfielders in England, with a move for the pair expected to cost around £60 million.
United’s interest in the pair is reported as “very high” with other top Premier League sides such as Chelsea also monitoring the talented duo.
The Red Devils have reportedly already made contact with Sunderland over a move for Rigg, however, the 17-year-old wants to wait until the end of the season to make any decisions on his future.
