According to reports, Manchester United have bluntly responded to Everton demanding £70m for England international Jarrad Branthwaite.

The 21-year-old was one of the breakout stars in the Premier League during the 2023/24 campaign after he benefitted from a loan spell in the Eredivisie with PSV Eindhoven.

Branthwaite to Man Utd?

The left-footed centre-back struck up a brilliant partnership with James Tarkowski for Everton and helped Sean Dyche s side surpass expectations to avoid relegation from the Premier League despite being docked points for breaching Profit and Sustainability rules.

Dan Ashworth will hope to make better transfer decisions than his predecessors at Manchester United, who have missed out on some great players thanks to their penny pinching.

Ashworth is set to have overall responsibility for football performance, recruitment and operations at Old Trafford after the Red Devils fought for his release from Newcastle, which was finally confirmed earlier this week. .

He will work with new CEO Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, who joined as the new technical director, in the new dawn at United under co-owner and head of football operations Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who bought a 27.7 per cent stake in the club from the Glazer family in February.

Jude Bellingham was set up by his more senior England teammates, who were happy for the Real Madrid star to bear the brunt of the media criticism at Euro 2024, according to Graeme Souness.

Bellingham scored the opening goal of the tournament for the Three Lions and the memorable overhead kick against Slovakia to keep them in it, but didn t quite reach the peak displays we have become accustomed to after his outstanding first season with Real Madrid.

Souness claims the 21-year-old was trying to do too much at times when England were chasing the game.

The pundit told Three Up Front, William Hill’s new podcast: “Jude Bellingham has the potential to be a fabulous player. I think what happened was that when England went behind and were chasing a game and things w…

Liverpool boss Arne Slot was pleased to see his side beat Arsenal in a pre-season friendly match in the USA in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Mohamed Salah and Fabio Carvalho scored two early goals as with the Gunners getting a goal back through Kai Havertz before half-time.

And boss Slot was just pleased to win the match after admitting that Arsenal dominated possession completely in the second half.

Slot said after the match: I think even though it s a friendly, you always want to aim for a win. You should aim for a win even if you have a small-sided game during a training session. You need to win your games, you try to do everything to win.

So that s a good thing that we did that today but I m more pleased about the way we did so. Of course I…

Conor Gallagher s move to Atletico Madrid is now in doubt as Chelsea have booked him a flight back to London following the latest transfer twist.

The 24-year-old has been linked with an exit all summer and despite plenty of Premier League interest, a move to Atletico Madrid has been on the cards for the past few weeks.

Chelsea have insisted that they see both deals as separate, but for the time being, Gallagher s transfer to Atletico Madrid has not been fully completed.

Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada has insisted Erik ten Hag has his and the club’s full backing and remains the right man to take the club forward.

United triggered a one-year contract extension for Ten Hag in the summer, but only after considering alternatives in the wake of an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League and unexpected FA Cup success, beating Manchester City in the final.

But there were fresh questions over the amount of progress United have made under Ten Hag following Sunday’s poor 3-0 home defeat to rivals Liverpool, already United’s second league defeat of the fledgling campaign after they lost 2-1 at Brighton last weekend.

Speaking alongside new sporting director Dan Ashworth shortly before kick off against Liverpool, Ber…

Scott McTominay isn t the first former Manchester United player to have found himself in Italy after leaving the club with the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian all taking the same route out of Old Trafford in recent years.

For McTominay, aside from the fact that he had been at United since the age of five, it must have been an absolute .

With that, of course, comes a change in scenery, weather, lifestyle as well as diet: something Italian boss Antonio Conte is strict upon as Lukaku had found out previously.

According to local Neapolitan newspaper Il Mattino, McTominay s diet is being strictly monitored because of the many temptations of the Neapolitan cuisine.

Sadly, it seems as though McTominay will not be allowed to enjoy the p…
