Manchester United Eye Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, Target Lille's Leny Yoro and Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite
Explore Manchester United's latest transfer targets including Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, Leny Yoro from Lille, and Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton. With defensive reshuffles underway, United aims to secure two central defenders while also eyeing additions in midfield and attack for the upcoming season.
Manchester United are contemplating a bid for Bayern Munich's central defender Matthijs de Ligt as part of their summer transfer strategy.
De Ligt, 24, who previously played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax and currently competes in Euro 2024 with the Netherlands, has attracted long-standing interest from United. Despite ongoing competition, United has yet to initiate formal discussions with Bayern regarding the player's potential transfer.
Alongside their pursuit of De Ligt, United is also keen on Lille's promising teenage centre-half Leny Yoro. However, there's speculation that Yoro may opt for Real Madrid instead.
United's defensive overhaul comes in the wake of Raphaël Varane's departure, leaving them in search of an accomplished right-footed centre-half. This quest coincides with uncertainties surrounding the futures of Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire, both of whom United would entertain bids for.
Meanwhile, Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite remains a priority target for United, although their initial bid was rebuffed by Everton, who hold out for a higher fee.
In addition to defensive reinforcements, United is also prioritizing signings in the holding midfielder and striker positions. Targets include PSG's Manuel Ugarte, Bologna's Joshua Zirkzee, and Lille's Jonathan David.
