The Red Devils were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham, who triumphed 4-3 in a thrilling encounter on Thursday night.
The defeat highlighted ongoing concerns for manager Ruben Amorim, particularly regarding the club's defensive issues.
Despite significant investment in defensive reinforcements such as Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro during the summer transfer window, United have struggled to shore up their backline.
The club also made an attempt to sign Jarrad Branthwaite at the start of this season, but both of their bids were rejected by Everton.
The Toffees have reportedly set an £80 million (R1.8 billion) price tag for their young centre-back, and it seems highly unlikely that any Premier League club will be able to meet that demand.
United are now turning their attention back to Branthwaite and are prepared to make another attempt to convince the defender to join, with Liverpool and Manchester City also said to be monitoring the situation.
