The latest Man Utd transfer news in the summer window, featuring Jarrad Branthwaite, Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Ivan Toney, Jadon Sancho and more.
Manchester United are one of the few clubs yet to make a signing since the window opened a month ago, and now they’ve been dealt a major setback for one of their top targets.
The Red Devils have made two bids for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, the second of which would have seen the Toffees net up to £50 million, but both were rejected out of hand.
The English centre-back is reportedly keen to move to Old Trafford, but it looks as if that won’t be happening thanks to a new development.
Aston Villa are on the verge of signing Amadou Onano from the Merseyside outfit in a deal worth around £50m, with the midfielder set to have a medical after agreeing personal terms on a long-term contract.
This has a knock on effect for United, as Everton are unwilling to sell Branthwaite if Onana leaves Goodison Park, according to The Athletic. They value him at £70m and it would likely take an offer around or above that to get them to change their mind.
