The Red Devils are determined to bring in a new midfielder this summer, when Raphael Varane leaves Old Trafford on a free transfer. Among them, Jarrad Branthwaite is Man United’s top target. The English player is said to have reached a personal agreement with the 20-time English champions.

However, Everton want more than £80m from the deal, while Man United’s first offer for the 21-year-old was just £35m plus add-ons.

De Ligt has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford, and according to Sky Deutschland, the Netherlands international is valued at €50m in the current market.

The report claims United have had internal discussions about signing De Ligt this summer, with Erik ten Hag keen to reunite with the player he coached at Ajax.

De Ligt is currently with the Dutch team participating in EURO 2024. He struggled with injuries during the 2023-24 campaign and was limited to only 30 appearances for Bayern. This defender has 3 years left on his contract with Allianz Arena.
