£25 million Hull City is benefiting from Man Utd and Everton’s disconnect: View

This summer, Hull City may have to deal with the possibility of losing a few important players.

This season, the Tigers have surprised a lot of people with how effectively they have performed in the

Championship, providing a welcome change of pace.

With just a few games remaining, Liam Rosenior’s team is playing such great football that they are vying

for a spot in the top six.

defender Jaco Greaves, who has participated in all but one league game this season, is one man who has

been crucial to their ascent up the table.

The defender has been vital for Hull, and it isn’t really a surprise to see that his performances are

catching the attention, with Everton one side to be mentioned in recent weeks.

However, the Toffees do face competition, as Tottenham Hotspur are also keeping an eye on the

Championship defender.

The Tigers will be concerned about his departure, but a development in Manchester United’s pursuit of

New Manchester United and Everton developments in the Jarrad Branthwaite raceIn order

to make improvements at Old Trafford, Sir Jim Ratcliffe may have a busy summer transfer window for

Manchester United.

Man United’s top summer target is Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, according to The Mirror.

The 21-year-old reportedly tops United’s wish list after making an impression on boss Erik ten Hag and

scouts.

Given that the defender has a contract with the team through 2027, it is reported that Everton is hoping

to acquire roughly £75 million for him.

It will just come down to the Toffees getting the best deal possible for the defender, and it seems Hull’s

Jacob Greaves is someone that could be lined up as a potential replacement.

Greaves has played every minute of the league that he has been available for, and he has been crucial to

Hull this season. In that time, the defender has racked up an incredible four assists and two goals,

surpassing his xA of 1.55, according to SofaScore.com.

sheets thus far. In addition to his excellent tackling (1.8 per game), which has seen him retrieve the ball

4.5 times, he has averaged 1.1 interceptions every game.
