Manchester United could turn their attention to signing Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi if Everton refuse to lower their demands for Jarrad Branthwaite, according to Mirror.
The Red Devils have already agreed personal terms with Branthwaite, but they are yet to secure a deal with the Toffees. Their opening offer worth £35 million plus £8m in easy add-ons was turned down.
United are planning to make an improved proposal, but they are unlikely to pay anywhere close to the £70m price tag.
