Manchester United still has their eyes on one of the young center-backs who currently earns around £35,000 per week. Despite getting their initial bid rejected by the 21-year-old’s current club Everton, the INEOS hope to agree with their English League counterparts on a suitable amount.

As Ten Hag’s era comes to an end and Ruben Amorim’s appointment, there might be big changes in their signing strategy. It would not be surprising if the record Premier League title winners aim to make some big modifications in their squad and offload some of their star players in order to reframe their side.

Everton demands £70 million for Jarrad Branthwaite

According to The Mirror, Everton have already rejected United’s initial bid for the center-back Jarrad Branthwaite. The Toffees are reportedly asking a massive prize of £70 million for their defender.

Following the failure of their majority of fresh signings this season, there are high chances that some big modifications might take center stage either this winter or next summer.

The same report suggests that the Manchester-based club might also sell their star winger Marcus Rashford if a suitable offer arrives. The Englishman struggled last season and his dismal performance this year as well has paved the way for his exit from the Old Trafford.

Given the current shortcomings of the Red Devils, the team urgently requires a strong center-back to significantly enhance their defensive capabilities.

As the current season unfolds, Amorim is poised to begin his tenure with United, and they are scheduled to face Ipswich Town at Portman Road. It will be intriguing to observe how the new Portuguese manager handles the affairs of his club.
