Manchester United going after highly rated Everton star

Manchester United have expressed strong interest in signing Everton defender, Jarrad Branthwaite according to report by Sky Sports.

The 21-year-old centre-back, who has recently been included in England’s provisional squad for Euro 2024, is highly regarded by the Red Devils.

As Manchester United prepare for the next season, strengthening their defense is a priority, and Branthwaite is a top candidate under consideration, irrespective of who will be managing the team.

Everton have placed a valuation of £60m-£70m on Branthwaite. The Toffees are in a position where they must sell one of their key assets by the end of June to comply with Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).

Branthwaite’s potential move to Old Trafford is a significant talking point as the summer transfer window approaches.

The Centre Back in the recently concluded campaign, was one of the highlights at the heart of the Everton defense, with Jarrod Branthwaite and his teammates playing a vital role in Everton surviving an initial 10-point deduction earlier in the season.
