Manchester United's Summer Transfer Targets: Young Centre-Backs and Competition from Top Clubs

Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a four-man shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window. The club's recent performances have been disappointing, currently sitting sixth in the Premier League and exiting the Champions League early. Looking ahead to the summer, United is targeting two young centre-backs, including Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite. However, they face competition from other top clubs such as Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Real Madrid. United is also keeping tabs on Benfica's Antonio Silva, Nice's Jean Clair Todibo, and Lille's Leny Yoro. Everton may be willing to sell Branthwaite for a significant fee. As the summer transfer window approaches, Manchester United is actively working to strengthen their squad and address their recent shortcomings.
