"M.U sets the number one transfer target."
Manchester United is set to undergo significant changes in the upcoming transfer window, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes charge of the club's sports division. They have made some crucial personnel changes at Old Trafford and are now planning for an exciting summer.
The Red Devils are expected to part ways with several aging stars and instead focus on adding players who can have a long-term impact on the club. Strengthening the defensive line will be Manchester United's top priority after the challenges they faced in the current season.
Erik ten Hag's team is missing the services of Lisandro Martinez, and alongside that, Luke Shaw has also been absent for a considerable period. As a result, they have struggled to find a truly quality solution to provide solidity to their defensive line.
According to reports, the Red Devils are looking to part ways with Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire, then bring in a new center-back. Football Insider sources suggest that they have identified their top target at the moment, who is Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton.
Manchester United has spent a long time pursuing the 21-year-old rock-solid defender. Branthwaite fits perfectly into the project as the Old Trafford club aims to build a core group of English players.
