'Good player... but £45m is as much as he is worth' - fans on Branthwaite

We asked you whether Manchester United should continue to pursue Jarrad Branthwaite after a revised bid for the 22-year-old defender worth about £45m was rejected by Everton on Tuesday.

Here are some of your replies:

Nick: Too expensive. We must avoid the pitfalls of overpaying for players in the past. Other clubs see Manchester United as a soft touch based on past behaviour. This must change - otherwise we will soon be a busted flush again.

Steve: Why are we pursuing a relative unknown entity at such a high price? One good season helping to keep Everton in the Premier League does not mean you break the bank for them. There are other (better) options. Move on!

Barry: He is a good player, but £45m is as much as he is worth. If Everton do not want that then move on. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Alex: United need to do what they have seemingly been reluctant to do in the past - walk away. Branthwaite is a promising player but for too long our haphazard transfer 'strategy' has been taken advantage of. There are plenty of other targets available.

Carl: Braithwaite is not the type of player we should be looking at as he is not proven just yet.

Andy: The changes upstairs at United have had a lot of coverage, with promises of things now being different at the club. It is time to change the narrative and stop overpaying for players just because there is money. If the player cannot force an exit for the second bid, then there are plenty of other young talents available.
