Despite making two bids, their attempts to sign Jarrad Branthwaite have not yet been successful. Everton is prepared to offer the Englishman a new deal to put an end to this story for the time being. A failed takeover raised hopes of a possible third bid.
Getting Matthijs de Ligt was meant to be the simplest of the three because the Dutchman was eager to get back together with Erik ten Hag and had agreed on personal conditions.
The Netherlands international is getting more and more upset with his club’s position, and the Red Devils have so far found it difficult to match Bayern Munich’s valuation.

United is considering another CB
According to Football Transfers, United may go on to sign Antonio Silva of Benfica if issues with both transactions don’t get resolved. The 20-time English League Champions, who frequently scout the defender, have been associated with the Portuguese international’s name for a considerable amount of time.
His €100 million release clause suggested that no deal would certainly happen this window, but after a lackluster Euro 2024 campaign, that price has dropped.
The 20-year-old’s versatility as a left and right defenseman will be beneficial to Old Trafford as they search for a backup for Lisandro Martinez.
Ten Hag is interested in Silva and Branthwaite because he wants a player who is more at ease with his left foot because Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof struggled last season without the Argentine.
Super agent Jorge Mendes, who is also Yoro’s agent, represents the Benfica ace, and United enjoy excellent working relationships with him. Silva’s agent is also eager to take him somewhere glitzier.
Even though a transfer is seen as doubtful, we are aware that Antonio Silva has surfaced as a potential for Manchester United as the team attempts to find value in their pursuit of a central defender.
Antonio Silva is the desired player. “Agent Jorge Mendes is still trying to convince Silva to leave Benfica. Some people in Manchester United’s recruiting team like the fact that Silva can play both ends of defense and, most often, on the left, where he can fill in for Lisandro Martinez.
“It’s thought that the defender’s release clause, which was originally set at €100 million, would now be significantly less than that,” said Benfica.
Silva and Joao Neves, a former United target who appears to be headed to Paris Saint-Germain, are unlikely to be sold by Benfica during the same transfer window.
The Red Devils are probably going to give both De Ligt and Branthwaite another shot in the hopes that player sales will happen by then, giving them the opportunity to significantly raise their offer.
