Not just Branthwaite – Man Utd to launch talks with ‘excellent’ £52m defender

Manchester United have reportedly joined their arch-rivals Liverpool in the race for Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio.

The Red Devils will be looking to address their defensive department in the summer, as Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system requires an additional number of centre-backs at Carrington.

The Premier League giants have already signed Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro last summer, while Ayden Heaven joined in January. But on the other hand, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are currently running on expiring contracts, while Lisandro Martinez might not be ready by the start of next season due to his ACL injury.

Hence, Man Utd are studying their options on the market. As reported earlier this week, they have been keeping close tabs on Jarrad Branthwaite, the 22-year-old Everton star whom they had already pursued last season.
