Manchester United are set for a busy summer transfer window as Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to stamp his authority at Old Trafford.

The new minority owner will have full control of football operations at the club and the Red Devils are looking to make numerous moves in the market as they look to close the gap to Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Jarrad Branthwaite - Everton

Jarrad Branthwaite is currently Man Utd’s priority centre-back target ahead of the summer transfer window and sources have told FootballTransfers that the Red Devils are ready to go ‘all-in’ to sign the Everton defender.

He could cost up to £75 million, however, with the Toffees set to demand a large fee for the 21-year-old.

Bremer - Juventus

Bremer is another option for Man Utd at centre-back and he could leave Juventus amid their struggles under Massimiliano Allegri.

A move is slightly unlikely given he only joined Juve in 2022, but Man Utd are interested.

Jean-Clair Todibo - Nice

Jean-Clair Todibo currently plays for OGC Nice, who are also owned by Ratcliffe, which means a move to Man Utd is seen as a likely scenario.

The Frenchman could replace his countryman Raphael Varane if the current Red Devils star leaves this summer.

Joshua Kimmich - Bayern

ESPN have reported that Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich is one of Man Utd’s summer targets as they look to sign a replacement for the ageing Casemiro.

Kimmich has been heavily linked with a Bayern exit amid their uncertain managerial situation, which could allow Man Utd to pounce.

Amadou Onana - Everton

Amadou Onana is an alternative to Kimmich in the defensive midfield position and sources have revealed to FootballTransfers that he is a serious option for Man Utd this summer.

The Belgium international has Premier League experience with Everton and is seen as someone who is capable of playing next to talented teenager Kobbie Mainoo as the base of Man Utd’s midfield.

Joao Neves - Benfica

Joao Neves is one of the most highly-regarded youngsters in world football and Bruno Fernandes is a huge admirer.

Man Utd have been targeting a move for nearly a year, although Benfica’s asking price of over €100 million may prove a sticking point for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Ross Barkley - Luton

FootballTransfers has been told that Ross Barkley is being eyed by Man Utd as they look to improve their squad depth this summer.

Christian Eriksen appears likely to leave the club and Barkley is seen as the perfect player to bolster the Red Devils’ midfield roster.

Joao Gomes - Wolves

Joao Gomes has emerged as another candidate to replace Casemiro following his impressive form at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

We understand that a fee in excess of £40m will be needed to persuade Wolves to sell, but Gomes is a Man Utd target and his recent international debut for Brazil has increased links of a summer move.

Michael Olise - Crystal Palace

Michael Olise is Man Utd’s priority right winger target as they look to sign an upgrade on the underperforming Antony.

Sources have informed us that Olise is well admired among the Man Utd hierarchy, and a move is on the cards, despite his injury troubles this season.

Ivan Toney - Brentford

FootballTransfers understands that Brentford boss Thomas Frank is on Man Utd’s shortlist to replace Ten Hag if the Dutchman is sacked, which means a move for Ivan Toney makes sense.

The England international has been linked with an Old Trafford switch in recent weeks and he could replace Anthony Martial at Man Utd, with the Frenchman due to leave when his contract expires at the end of June.
