Report shares what Man Utd intend to do after Everton reject Branthwaite bid

Manchester United are set to make a second bid for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite after their initial offer was rejected, according to HITC. The Red Devils are keen to sign the 21-year-old center-back, who impressed in the Premier League last season, but Everton are holding out for a higher price.

The Toffees value Branthwaite at at least £70million, according to The Telegraph’s James Ducker, while Manchester United’s first offer was worth £43million, including add-ons. Despite the rejection, United are expected to make an improved offer, although club sources suggest they may pursue other options if a deal cannot be reached.Branthwaite has already agreed personal terms with Manchester United, according to The Times, but the transfer saga is likely to continue into the summer transfer window. The young defender was a standout performer for Everton last season, forming a strong partnership with James Tarkowski and Jordan Pickford, and helping the team to a respectable defensive record.

Everton’s financial situation makes it challenging for them to keep their prized players, and Branthwaite’s potential exit would be a significant blow. The club may be forced to sell players to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules, with Amadou Onana also linked with a big-money move away from Goodison Park.Manchester United’s interest in Branthwaite is understandable, given his impressive performances last season.

The defender was surprisingly omitted from Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024, despite his excellent form and Harry Maguire’s unavailability.As the transfer saga unfolds, Everton fans will be anxious to see if their club can retain the services of one of their most talented players. The Toffees must stand firm on their valuation of Branthwaite if they are to receive a fair price for the defender. With Manchester United expected to make a second bid, the situation is likely to become increasingly intense in the coming weeks.In related news, Vatche Manoukian has been told to increase his takeover bid for Everton amid an £800million claim.

The future of the club remains uncertain, with the potential sale of Branthwaite and Onana likely to have a significant impact on the team’s prospects next season.As the transfer window heats up, Everton fans can expect more updates and developments in the coming weeks. The fate of Jarrad Branthwaite and Amadou Onana will be closely watched, with the club’s financial situation and takeover bid adding to the uncertainty surrounding the team’s future.
