Manchester United make £50M offer to sign top summer target

It has been claimed that Manchester United have made a fresh offer to sign Everton defender Jarrod Branthwaite this summer.

United have been in the transfer headlines alot over the past few months as there has been alot of players linked with a move to Old Trafford as the Red Devils look to improve a number of key areas.

That defence was a real issue for Man United last season and with Rafa Varane no longer part of the plans – the talented Branthwaite has constantly been linked with a move to Manchester – with reports that United have even made offers to get a deal done.

He is one of the most talented young defenders in the Premier League and it is believed that the only thing stopping United from getting a transfer deal done – is that £70 million asking price that Everton have placed on the shoulders of the young lad.

But the Daily Mail is reporting that the new bid totals £45m plus a further £5m in add-ons, which is far less than the £70 million that Everton reportedly desire for the defender.

Branthwaite is a very good defender that has alot of potential to make it at the very top of the game – but he is not worth £70 million yet and it would be a massive risk for Manchester United to take to pay that kind of money.

He would probably be worth the money if it was closer to £50 million – anymore than that and he could be a real flop at Old Trafford.
