A recent update claims that Manchester United has stepped its efforts to sign a “monster” in a £35 million trade.

With everything going according to plan, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will have Omar Berrada as chief executive, Jason Wilcox as technical director, and Dan Ashworth as sports director for the forthcoming market as he gets ready for his first summer transfer window as a co-owner at Old Trafford.

Though there have been strong whispers of a move for either Thomas Tuchel or Graham Potter this week, it is unclear who will lead United next season. Erik ten Hag’s career appears to be in jeopardy.

The “spine” of the United team is reportedly going to be overhauled by Wilcox and Ashworth, with big-money players Raphael Varane and Casemiro perhaps being just two of the 21 players who might depart Old Trafford this summer. Jarrad Branthwaite, the centre defender for Everton, is consequently viewed as the “long-term answer” at Old Trafford and is hence United’s “top target,” with optimism around a possible £60–70 million deal being finalised by the end of June.

News on Man Utd’s transfer: Huge update on Jarrad Branthwaite’s future with Everton
This is a fairly big update.
Jeremie Frimpong, a great player for Bayer Leverkusen, has also been frequently linked to the team. According to recent reports, the Red Devils were actively discussing a contract and are eager to activate the player’s £35 million release clause. There’s a new update available now.

Man Utd increase their interaction with Jeremie Frimpong
Man Utd has “intensified contact” to acquire Frimpong, according to sources from Germany that Sport Witness is relaying. However, they are not the only team that has stepped up their attempts to get the full-back.

The Red Devils may need to act swiftly once the domestic season comes to an end since his £35 million release clause is only in effect until the start of Euro 2024.

After joining Leverkusen from Celtic in 2021, Frimpong—dubbed a “monster” in the final third by Beth Tucker of The United Stand—has grown stronger and stronger, leading the team to the Bundesliga title this year.

Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes praised the left-back, calling him a “simply incredible footballer, technically great and very intelligent,” and added, “Part of the reason why we dominate games to the extent we do at the moment is to do with him reading situations very quickly and coming forward to create overloads.” He has been instrumental in the team’s unbeaten campaign in all competitions thus far under Xabi Alonso, primarily playing as a right midfielder.

If Frimpong gets to Old Trafford, he may replace players like Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot as the team’s first choice or serve as a versatile forward option. It appears that the Red Devils are trying to finalise an early summer transfer.
