Transfer News: Everton reject Branthwaite bid from Man United

More transfer news from Old Trafford and Goodison Park

Everton have turned down a second offer from Manchester United, this time around £45m, for their defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

Last month, the Toffees also rejected a £35m bid from United for the 22-year-old England international.

It's believed that United's revised offer included potential additional payments if certain targets were achieved.

Everton reject Branthwaite bid from Man United

This still falls short of Everton's valuation.

Branthwaite has shone as a left-sided central defender at Goodison Park, playing a crucial role in helping the Merseyside club avoid relegation last season despite two points deductions for breaching financial loss rules.

United are eager to bolster their central defence options and have been in talks over Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt, who is currently representing the Netherlands at Euro 2024.

With Raphael Varane having left the club, there has been no confirmation yet of a new one-year deal for veteran Northern Ireland centre-back Jonny Evans.

Additionally, there are uncertainties surrounding the future of Sweden international Victor Lindelof, who reported to Carrington for the first day of pre-season training on Monday.

Would he be a good signing for Manchester United?

One United fan posted on Twitter/X saying: What is funny is 50m euros being accepted for the best young CB talent in Europe, but 50m pounds isn't enough for Branthwaite."

Lauren, a Chelsea fan, is intrigued about this transfer battle as a neutral. She said: "The bar on transfer values for defenders was set by Maguire and Fofana. He’s better than those two players were at the same age. I'm still not convinced that either of those have been good signings for United or Chelsea."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
