“During this season, we are only going to sign these two players,” the coach said. We are going to have to spend a lot of money on them, but it will be money well spent. The four-man transfer wishlist that Manchester United has drawn up for the summer includes a Premier League star that Tottenham is interested in acquiring. Erik ten Hag wants to use them to dominate the Premier League season. “If we were to include Mason Greenwood on our team, we would win the league.” They will be unable to be stopped, as stated by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Despite significant investments in players like Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund during the summer of 2023, Manchester United’s performance has failed to meet expectations, leaving them languishing in sixth place in the Premier League, trailing Tottenham Hotspur by six points in fourth place.
In their bid to fortify their squad for the future, Manchester United, owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team, is focusing on bolstering their central defense. Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is among the players they are eyeing for a potential signing.
However, the competition for Branthwaite’s signature is fierce, with several clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Real Madrid also expressing interest in the talented defender. Additionally, Manchester United is keeping tabs on other potential defensive targets, such as Antonio Silva from Benfica, Jean Clair Todibo from Nice, and Leny Yoro from Lille.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid is also monitoring Yoro, adding another layer of competition for Manchester United. Everton may be open to parting ways with Branthwaite for the right price during the upcoming transfer window, as the club seeks to alleviate ongoing financial pressures.
Amid Everton’s financial struggles, the club is actively seeking ways to generate revenue, potentially leading to the departure of players like Branthwaite and Amadou Onana. The club faces various financial challenges, including a potential acquisition by 777 Partners, a ten-point deduction for breaching Profit and Sustainability regulations, and the ongoing battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
