Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reconsidering the Branthwaite deal after superstar Ronald Araujo suddenly expressed his desire to join Man Utd.

Manchester United are reviewing their centre-back transfer plans after Jarrad Branthwaite expressed his desire to join the club. Previously, Branthwaite had an impressive season at Everton, attracting attention from the Red Devils. However, MU’s interest has turned to Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo.

According to information from Marca, Barcelona midfielder Ronald Araújo is expressing his desire to move to Manchester United if he receives a salary twice as attractive as his current salary. Araújo’s current salary at Barcelona is said to be disproportionate to his important contributions to the team. This made the Uruguayan player feel dissatisfied and begin to consider other options.

Araújo is said to have expressed admiration for Manchester United and considered it an ideal landing spot for his career. He believes that moving to Old Trafford will help him develop further and achieve new successes.

Signing Araújo will not be an easy task for Manchester United. Barcelona certainly will not want to lose one of its important pillars. However, with strong financial potential, the “Red Devils” can completely meet Araújo’s salary requirements.

Although Branthwaite is also a promising young talent, Araujo’s expressed desire to come to MU created a turning point in the club’s transfer plans. Man Utd is currently considering the possibility of recruiting Araujo, although the price is expected to be not small.

With MU turning to Araujo, the possibility of Branthwaite moving to Old Trafford becomes uncertain. However, he still has many other options, including continuing to stay at Everton or moving to another club.
