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."

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

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)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
