Manchester United slipped to 15th place in the Premier League after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
Under manager Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils have faced difficulties both defensively and offensively. The Portuguese manager may receive financial backing to bolster the squad this summer.
The club is likely to seek a strong competitor for Lisandro Martinez in the left centre-back position, given the Argentine’s inconsistency and injury issues during his tenure at United.
Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton has been a long-standing target, but the Red Devils might not renew their interest. Last summer, the Toffees were asking for £70 million for him.
With Branthwaite’s impressive performances this season, Everton could demand an even higher fee, especially as they look set to avoid relegation.
United will need to consider alternatives in the transfer market. Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen could be an attractive option, as he has a £50 million release clause, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 19-year-old joined the Cherries from Juventus last summer and began the season primarily as an unused substitute under manager Andoni Iraola. However, due to injuries, he has since become a key player.
Huijsen is now a regular starter, showcasing his talent with notable performances. He has won 58% of his duels, averaging 1.2 tackles, 3.6 recoveries, and 4.5 clearances per game. Additionally, he has scored two goals from set pieces, including one against United.
Born in Amsterdam, Huijsen possesses the potential to become a future superstar. He would align perfectly with United’s transfer strategy, making him a wise choice for recruitment.
