Manchester United’s transfer plans remain under close scrutiny as the club looks to fine-tune Ruben Amorim’s squad before the new season begins.
The Red Devils have made some early moves in the window, but questions remain about the depth and future of their attacking options — particularly out wide.
With uncertainty surrounding multiple players and others attracting interest from abroad, United’s focus has quietly shifted toward promising youth talent to bolster their flank.
Several names have been monitored this summer as part of a broader strategy to rejuvenate the squad and stay competitive domestically.
But while United assess their next step, one Premier League club has acted swiftly to take matters into their own hands.
Everton have dramatically raised their bid for 19-year-old Tyler Dibling, offering Southampton a package reportedly worth around £40 million including add-ons, as per The Guardian.
This comes after Southampton rejected two offers from Everton in recent days, of £27 million and £35 million.
The England U21 winger has been a long-term United target, with the club tracking his development for months, but have yet to submit a formal offer.
Everton’s urgency comes after missing out on several wide targets, including Francisco Conceicao and Johan Bakayoko, with manager David Moyes eager to strengthen before the window closes.
Tyler Dibling, who is open to the move, has two years left on his current deal, and Southampton are holding firm in their valuation, believed to be slightly above the Toffees’ latest proposal.
In addition to their pursuit of Dibling, Everton have opened talks with Chelsea over a potential permanent move for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, as they aim to bolster their midfield options.
Everton have already signed four players this summer but have lost 11, including nine from last season’s first-team squad, making their latest moves critical to Moyes’ rebuilding project.
United will now have to decide whether to match or better the offer to avoid losing out on another long-term prospect.
