Manchester United are preparing to revisit a swoop for Benfica defender Antonio Silva this summer. That’s as per reports from Portuguese outlet O Jogo as Erik ten Hag and INEOS continue the search for more defensive recruits.
With highly-rated French teenager Leny Yoro already on board, United are still interested in Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich and Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, although a proposed deal for both players has proven difficult so far with the selling clubs playing hardball. United have had two bids for Branthwaite turned down.
Although personal terms have been verbally agreed with De Ligt – who captained Ajax under Ten Hag – United are mulling over alternative options. In any case, further signings are dependent on sales being sanctioned.
