Manchester United are reportedly preparing a second bid for Jarrad Branthwaite.
The defender is thought to be a number one priority signing for Erik ten Hag this summer and despite seeing an initial bid worth £43million turned down by Everton, United are willing to proceed with another move. However, the Blues have valued the England international at around £70m and view him as a key player for Sean Duche's side.
Reports have suggested that Branthwaite wants a move to Old Trafford but both teams must come to an agreement. According to the Liverpool Echo, Everton are anticipating a new offer from the Reds.

Although there has been no mention of how much United are expected to bid this time, any new offer will 'provide an indication of how serious' they are about signing Branthwaite with the Toffees deeming their initial bid as 'unacceptable.'
With the Toffees' position in relation to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) still a concern, the sale of academy player Lewis Dobbin to Aston Villa for £10m has improved the club's outlook and therefore the necessity for an imminent major sale is likely to have eased.
Elsewhere, the United are said to have rejected a clause proposed for Mason Greenwood. The attacker is set to leave Old Trafford this summer as he approaches the final year of his deal.
After spending last season on loan at Getafe, Greenwood has caught the eye from the likes of Juventus, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund and clubs in Turkey and Spain. According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio
