Man Utd join Spurs and West Ham in race to sign Max Kilman
Give Me Sport reported that manchester united has joined Tottenham and western ham to show interest in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Max Kilman this summer.
United are in the market for a new centre-back and the report says they have identified Kilman as an alternative to Jarrad Branthwaite as EvertonThe defender's demands go far beyond the Red Devils' budget.
Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have also been heavily linked with Kilman in recent months and GMS says the duo are “circling” the Wolves star, but now face fresh competition from Man Utd.
Kilman enjoyed a solid season at the back for Wolves, who are now “fearful” that other teams could approach the player and have consequently put a £50m price tag on him, according to the report.
They are expected to stand firm in their assessment, which they believe could persuade interested parties to “turn their attention elsewhere” to Kilman, who has been described as an “outstanding” player by former team-mate Conor Coady.
Manchester United had prioritized the signing of Jarrad Branthwaite, but Everton's asking price of £70m is deterring them as they are not expected to be willing to go above a £45m spend.
Kilman a good signing for United
Max Kilman has spent several years playing in England and despite his wealth of experience, he still has some of his best years ahead of him, given that he is only 27 years old.
Naturally, he is a left central defender, but he is also an occasional left back, which will help the Red Devils kill two birds with one stone, as Tyrell Malacia's poor fitness has overworked Luke Shaw at fullback. side lately.
Although Manchester United are not expected to exceed the £45m spend on a defender, Kilman's versatility could see them make a compromise by tightening their budget.
Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing the Englishman, but it is understood that they will not be able to meet Wolves' financial demands, while West Ham will. They rejected a £25m offer and they might also have their hands tied.
Manchester United can be considered the favorites for Kilman, but it is worth noting that they have not yet launched concrete talks for him.
