Ruud van Nistelrooy labelled Jarrad Branthwaite a 'great talent' amid links with Manchester United. It's been a busy summer for United who have already signed Mason Mount and Andre Onana and will seal a deal for Rasmus Hojlund this week.
The club's business might not end with the Danish striker, either, with Erik ten Hag admitting he is always looking to add quality to his squad.
While a backup goalkeeper and defensive midfielder are bigger priorities, a new defender could also be on the agenda given Harry Maguire's future remains uncertain.
It seems likely that veteran centre-back Jonny Evans is the more likely candidate to add reinforcements in the heart of defence but United have been linked with starlet Branthwaite.
