Man Utd Face Bidding War For £30m Jarrad Branthwaite Alternative

One of Manchester United biggest plan this summer transfer window is to strengthen in defense. United have no intentions in slowing down after signing Leny Yoro from Losc Lille in a £52m deal.

Yoro is seen as a starting centre-back, but United may still be looking for further depth, with Matthijs de Ligt a key target. A deal for Mathijs de Light have since stalled with United having no intentions to meeet Bayern’s asking price for the dutch center-back.

Another serious name on United radar for the center-back is Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton. Man Utd have seen two bids turned down for the Englishman, as Everton demands a much higher of £75m for Branthwaite.

Man Utd have been sturdy on their stance not to overpay for the English Center-back despite him being highly rated among the Utd hierarchy.

Trevoh Chalobah a Jarrad Branthwaite alternative

Man Utd could pull a Mason Mount on Chalobah with the English Center-back up for sale after being left-out of Chelsea’s pre-season squad.

The Independent reported in May that Manchester United were interested in Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, who was then valued at £25 million.

Manchester United remain in the mix to sign Trevoh Chalobah and see him as a useful potential signing.

Ben Jacobs tells Give Me Sport: “Manchester United hold a genuine interest and are intent on signing a second centre-back having already added Leny Yoro from Lille.

Chalobah is now expected to listen to offers with it seemingly clear he is not in Maresca’s plans for the new season and Man Utd could be a concrete option for him.
