Erik ten Hag appreciates 24-year-old warrior as Man United's centre-back search continues; Branthwaite bid also made
Manchester United will sign a new centre-back in the summer transfer window and they made a bid for Jarrad Branthwaite, but Everton want at least £65m/£70m to sell him, not the £35m offered by Manchester United.
That’s why at the moment there’s no agreement between the parties, but Branthwaite remains one of three names they have in the list for the new centre-back.
They appreciate Todibo but there are more options on Manchester United’s shortlist and this is why they are not desperate.
Matthijs De Ligt is a player who is absolutely appreciated by Erik ten Hag, he knows him very well since their time at Ajax, but at the moment still no clarity whether Manchester United will decide to go for him or not.
The possibility for De Ligt to leave Bayern in the summer is really concrete, but at the moment not guaranteed and Manchester United have not started concrete negotiations yet for De Ligt.
Let’s see who’s going to be the top target but, for sure, Manchester United are going to bring in a new centre-back.
