Why would they have loaned him out?
Harming his own career if he moves to Utd.
His agent should be telling him to wait for a move to a champions league club

Yeah I can’t get my head around that , simultaneously a key target for their rebuild deserving of a substantial salary but not worth an appropriate fee .

He’ll end up at a club that competes for the major prizes , let’s not kid ourselves he’ll outgrow us in terms of competition and success before too long but why end up at united where you’ll only move on if they bomb you out and you’re still years from challenging for titles .

Man U ain't want they used to be: And that reality, and the fact that in their heart of hearts, they know that, lends me no little epicaricacy.
I think Utd have shown very poor judgement in trying to complete this transfer.
The initial bid was stupidly low, a bid that never could accept, even with a PSR issue.
They have now been forced to increase their bid to what should have been their opening bid and been rejected again. They now have to walk away and admit defeat or increase the bid by another 10m which will also probably be rejected. Branthwaite is now getting very dear for them as they don't have endless funds either. They have high earning players who are difficult to sell.
If there was an advantage in signing the player before June 30th that is now gone so they will have to pay full price.

He's really good when playing in a low block. He's ok in a higher one too. Young, pacy etc. So far his tackles have been spot on but there's the catch. As the great Maldini said: if a defender needs to commit in a tackle, a mistake has already been made. One day soon Branthwaite is going to get one wrong and we're down to ten men... And then it's going to happen on another day. He's not the finished product, yet. And no-one knows if he's ever going to be one either.
So I can in a way understand united's reluctance to pay 70 + add ons. I would sell him with that price. But not a penny less.

He doesn't do humour mate...he wouldn't laugh if he seen a chair walk.
He's already one of the best defenders I've ever seen at the club - and I was around for the 80's teams.
Personally, I think its clear that he's already brilliant and will only get even better.
Best outcome here (other than Branthwaite staying for years) is Utd walk away and City take him next year for £80m and he becomes as good a we expect.
Be worth it just for the fume out of the Utd scruffs.
