The British Football Insider reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Manchester United resumed negotiations to recruit Jarrod Bransweight'
Manchester United have been engrossed in recruiting a centre-back in the recent transfer market. Reni Yoro, a big French prospect, has already been recruited, but he left due to injury. Yoro, a defender who has earned the tremendous nickname 2 Varane since last season, was considered the core of Manchester United's defense team in the next season because of his wide coverage and stable tackle despite his young age in 2005.
But Yoro suffered a major injury in the preseason. In his second preseason game, he had to leave the ground with an injury. In a pre-season match against Arsenal on 28 July, Yoro started but was replaced by an injury. Since then, Yoro has been on crutches, making fans nervous, but the decision was confirmed for about three months due to a fractured metatarsal bone. Yoro made fans feel sorry by revealing his appearance after the surgery.
In addition, Manchester United is currently only about to announce the signing of Matthijs de Ligt. Tenhach wanted to add a centre-back, although he has already made two big signings. The player Tenhach paid attention to was Branswait, who had been involved with Manchester United since the beginning of the transfer market this summer.

The performance immediately led to Manchester United's proposal. According to The Times and others in the UK, Manchester United has already contacted Bransweight and succeeded in reaching a personal agreement. The transfer seemed to be progressing gradually, as manager Erik tenhach is also said to be desperate to recruit Branthwaite.
But there were difficulties. It was that Everton's transfer fee demand was high. Everton, which had already experienced points cuts due to violating PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Rules) rules this season, were in urgent need of player sales, but they reportedly have no intention of sending key players at a low price by successfully selling some players. European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said: "Everton will maintain a clear stance on Branthwaite. 'I will not sell him for at least 65 million pounds (about 110 billion won) or sell him off,' he said, adding that Everton will stick to the high transfer fee. In the end, Manchester United, which has since recruited Yoro, temporarily excluded Branthwaite from the recruitment candidate.
But with Yoro's injury, Manchester United, who wanted to make sure the defence was overhauled, are again beginning to show interest in Branswaite. Everton seem to plan to recruit him by offering a transfer fee that is almost close to the level they want.

If Manchester United invest £60 million in Bransweight, it is expected to be Manchester United's biggest investment this summer, surpassing Yoro, De Licht and Joshua Zirke. However, it may be difficult for fans to understand Manchester United's move to invest about 250 billion won only in center backs, which needs to be recruited in other positions in addition to reinforcing the defense. In addition, there is a high possibility that the center back position will be oversaturated if players who can be evaluated outside of their power, such as Harry Maguire and Viktor Lindelof, cannot be sorted out.
Tenhach, who was obsessed with Ajax-born players, turned to center back. Attention is also focusing on how his centerback reorganization will lead to results in the next season.
