Manchester United are set to battle Tottenham for the signing of a player with a £60m+ release clause, according to reports.
Man Utd transfer rumours
A new era of sorts is set to begin at Manchester United this summer with the 2024 transfer window set to be Sir Jim Rattclife’s first since becoming part owner of the Red Devils. Despite an 8th-place finish in the Premier League, manager Erik ten Hag was able to keep his role for the time being and is reportedly set to pen fresh terms with the club.
With new backing from Ratcliffe, Ten Hag is no doubt eager to see an aging, out-of-form Man Utd squad transformed over the summer as he looks to push the Red Devils up the table and into a battle with England’s top sides.
In terms of potential incomings, a recent report linked Manchester United with a move for Bayern Munich stalwart Leon Goretzka. The Red Devils are also interested in signing striker Maximilian Beier. One of the Manchester outfit’s main transfer targets at present, though, appears to be Everton stopper Jarrad Branthwaite, with it reported this week that United have agreed terms with the Englishman over a contract worth between £150-160k a week.
Elsewhere, journalist David Ornstein recently told The Athletic FC podcast that Man United wants a center-back, a midfielder, and a striker – while a move for a left-back could also transpire.
