Daily Mail reveals Manchester United continue to push for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite this summer.

Jarrad Branthwaite’s omission from England’s 26-man squad for Euro 2024 has led to the possibility that he could now be open to talks over his future. Manchester United are looking to rebuild after it was confirmed that Erik ten Hag will remain as manager under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.

They are in the market for a centre-back and have considered Branthwaite as an option, but Everton have already rejected an initial bid of £43m from their counterparts. Everton believe they could get an even higher fee for the talent.

The Merseyside outfit are therefore prepared to entertain another bid from Man Utd . The Toffees have slapped a £70m price tag on the 21-year-old and believe a fee similar to the £80m the Red Devils paid for Harry Maguire would suit their needs.

Ten Hag has made defensive reinforcements a top priority, especially after turning down the chance to extend Raphael Varane’s contract. The club are also monitoring a potential move for Lille centre-back Leny Yoro.

Man United are preparing to bid for the Bologna ‘crown jewel’ – who has a £34m release clause – as they look to beat AC Milan to the Dutch striker’s signature
