Man United eye Jarrad Branthwaite transfer alternative as personal terms 'agreed' for move

Manchester United, gearing up for the new season under Erik ten Hag, are eyeing centre-back options. With Raphael Varane's departure, Matthijs de Ligt of Bayern Munich has been linked as a potential transfer target. The Athletic reports that United are seriously considering de Ligt, who has previously worked with Ten Hag at Ajax. Although he's currently an unused substitute at Euro 2024, de Ligt has emerged as a concrete target and is seen as a more affordable option compared to Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite.
