Manchester United are exploring the possibility of signing Jarred Branthwaite from Everton and Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich in two distinct transactions.
Branthwaite Valuation
Everton have set a price tag of £65-70 million for their centre-back, Jarred Branthwaite. The 21-year-old defender has attracted interest from Manchester United, who are considering a move for him.
De Ligt Negotiations
Negotiations between Manchester United and Bayern Munich for Matthijs de Ligt are ongoing. The Dutch defender, who has expressed a strong desire to join United, continues to be a focal point of discussions. United are increasingly confident about securing his transfer.
Player Preferences
Both Branthwaite and de Ligt are reportedly enthusiastic about the potential moves. De Ligt, in particular, has made it clear that Manchester United is his preferred destination.

Earlier in the month, de Ligt had already given the green light for the move, and by 2 July, he had agreed to join the club.
