Everton sets their ‘stance’ on Branthwaite, while the Red Devils closely monitor Ugarte’s progress. Meanwhile, the latest on Rabiot’s potential move keeps fans on the edge of their seats. Dive into the whirlwind of transfer speculations, official statements, and expert insights.

The transfer window is poised to heat up, and Manchester United supporters are eagerly awaiting further updates on new arrivals in the coming days.

Over the weekend, Joshua Zirkzee became Manchester United’s first summer acquisition, joining the club from Serie A’s Bologna. The Dutch forward is expected to integrate with his new teammates as pre-season activities commence.

United began their friendly matches with a narrow 1-0 loss to Rosenborg on Monday. They are set to face Rangers on Saturday, a game that might also see new signings in the squad.

One potential addition is defender Leny Yoro. United have had an offer accepted, and Yoro has reportedly agreed to join the team.

The club will continue to work behind the scenes to enhance the squad ahead of next month’s transfer deadline.

Meanwhile, Everton is reluctant to part with Jarrad Branthwaite despite facing financial instability due to the collapse of the Friedkin Group’s takeover bid, according to The Athletic.

With the anticipated £50m departure of Amadou Onana to Aston Villa, Everton might need to sell more players to meet Premier League financial regulations. However, the club remains resolute in keeping Branthwaite, having already rejected two bids from United. The report suggests that further attempts to acquire the defender would be discouraged.
