Manchester United looks to target a player they just beat over the weekend.

Manchester United's squad will look completely different next season compared to this season, as many reports suggest that Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants a complete overhaul in the squad ahead of the summer transfer window. With the potential sales of many current Manchester United players, the club is willing to splash the cash on young, talented players in Europe. Manchester United already has eyes on a few players outside the Premier League and is also targeting players who they have been playing against in the league recently.

Manchester United are targeting Joao Neves from Benfica, who is worth $128 million. The Portuguese giants would see Neves as a prospect and do not want to sell the player for under $100 million. While Man United tracks on Neves, the club is looking at other positions like the center back position. After Man United's 2-0 win against Everton this past weekend, the club has become interested in Jarrad Branthwaite.

Mirror Football reports that Branthwaite is Manchester United's top centre-back target. Everton wants at least £75 million, and United - who are set to push ahead with a bid - will try to lower that amount to nearer the £50 million mark. Everton wants at least $96 million, but Manchester United wants to meet the $64 million mark. Manchester Evening News writer Samuel Luckhurst reports that Branthwaite isn't the only Everton player that Man United is looking at. Manchester United is continuing to monitor Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Amadou Onana.

Manchester United are targeting another Premier League player

Branthwaite is at the top of the list of Manchester United targets, but another Premier League player is at the top of the list of target players. Jacque Talbot reports that Michael Olise and Jarrad Branthwaite are high on INEOS’ list of transfer targets this summer window as Manchester United prepares for an overhaul.
