Immediately After our last match I begged him to join us at Man city but He has already said YES to Man united offer’: Man city Star Phil foden Confirmed His £60m country man have snub City latest offer for Man united

Manchester United’s ongoing injury issues forced them to experiment with several centre defence pairings during the previous season.

The Red Devils are now looking for a quality central defence, and Jarrad Branthwaite’s name has been strongly associated with the position since Varane and Evans left.

Despite being named in the preliminary team for the European Championships, Gareth Southgate ultimately decided to drop the Everton centre half.

His withdrawal from England’s Euro 2024 roster has given the Old Trafford team incentive to move swiftly to sign him.

Man Utd is trying to finalise Branthwaite’s signing in the next weeks, that is, before the end of June, according to Liverpool Echo.

The Merseyside insider asserts that the Toffees will not be intimidated into cutting the 21-year-old star’s price in spite of financial worries.

However, Manchester United isn’t willing to pay a premium to sign Branthwaite.

The Goodison Park team is believed to be worth £80 million, according to The Sun last month, but United is trying to close a deal for £40 million.

We overpaid to entice players like Antony, Lisandro Martinez, Rasmus Hojlund, and even Andre Onana while we were managed by Erik ten Hag.

Ratcliffe wants to spend prudently, but unless the Everton star’s contract is about to expire, he will never be able to get a top-tier player for a low price.

How much should Man Utd offer to entice Branthwaite, in your opinion?
