This is a genuine question I ask myself.
Everton play hard ball, but they have to be careful. Everton are in financial trouble. I see very few competitors to United getting their hands on Branthwaite, Everton really have to sell, and most people know that.
United do not want to repeat blunders like when we bought Maguire and were completely exposed by Leicester and ended up paying far too much for him. Bad transfer strategy from United.
With Jean-Clair Todibo as an available alternative to Branthwaite, a very good option to name a few, I feel we have little chance of ending up with another summer of failure.
How do you see this unfolding?
Everton gambling on Branthwaite?

It doesn't really bother me if players don't make their Euro squads - not everyone can go and if we have been tracking a player and want him, then that shouldn't be a factor.
I also hope that we don't suddenly get swayed by someone who performs well at the Euros - some players seem to play better in internationals than at club level, or just have an outstanding tourney - Karel Poborsky anyone??!! - I am sure we bought him simply based on that jammy chip

Branthwaite for £55m and Sergio Ramos on a free this Summer...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We would get 15 games max out of Ramos............not due to injury, but suspensions

Ramos making him look innocent by comparison may have been why Casemiro was so good at avoiding cards in La Liga.

Ramos seems to have been around forever, must be at least 50. Still quicker than Maguire

Yeah, you’d also want someone of a similar pedigree with similar experience but maybe a slightly cooler head ready to slot in when Ramos was suspended.
Now, Pepe is available…

It’d be amazing.
Pepe is the only player I know who has YouTube highlights reels called ‘Pure Evil’ and ‘I Will Kill You’

And Salah would be on a flight to Saudi before Ramos touched down in Manchester
