<a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/07/19/erik-ten-hag-ineos-silence-man-utd-future-ibiza-meeting/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> reported on Friday that Everton's failed takeover might cause United to renew their interest in Branthwaite, having seen two bids for the centre-back rejected by the Toffees. However, United have since been told by Everton that nothing has changed; they flat out refuse to sell the 22-year-old unless their valuation is met.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5648410/2024/07/20/jarrad-branthwaite-everton-manchester-united-transfer/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, Everton have set Branthwaite's value in the same bracket as the transfer fees that Harry Maguire, Wesley Fofana and Josko Gvardiol commanded in recent years. That's around £70m-£80m ($90m-$103m). United's opening offer for the defender was a reported £35m ($45m) plus £8m ($10m) in add-ons, and they returned with a second bid of £45m ($58m) and £5m ($6m) in add-ons.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United's interest in Branthwaite hasn't waned despite the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-lenny-yoro-red-devils-real-madrid-liverpool-gbp52m-lille-star/blt6c20f3f16147a47e" target="_blank">£52m (£68m) arrival</a> of Leny Yoro, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/amad-diallo-steals-the-show-winners-losers-leny-yoro-man-utd-jadon-sancho-casemiro-red-devils-rangers/blt19a734930f3c0b35" target="_blank">who impressed in his first pre-season outing on Saturday</a>. However, they won't be signing the English defender unless Everton reduce their asking price.

DID YOU KNOW?

INEOS will continue to improve Erik ten Hag's squad, with potential deals with Matthijs de Ligt and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-manuel-ugarte-erik-ten-hag-psg-red-devils-leny-yoro/blt9bc0c9d7730a834a" target="_blank">Manuel Ugarte on the horizon</a>.
