The transfer window has been getting more exciting with each passing day, and here, Manchester United has once again sparked their interest in Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, despite the change in the club’s managerial staff. Branthwaite, who has been a standout performer for Everton, has caught the attention of several top clubs, with United being one of the most persistent suitors.
The 22-year-old centre-back has proven his worth in the Premier League with solid defensive performances, earning recognition for his ability to read the game and excel under pressure. The Red Devils are reportedly keen on making him their first-choice left-sided central defender, a role that could be crucial as the club looks to strengthen their defence. However, Everton’s stance on the player is firm, valuing Branthwaite at over €70 million.

His importance to the team is clear, as Everton sees him as one of their most valuable assets. While United has Luke Shaw back fit, there are ongoing concerns about his injury history and the future of Tyrell Malacia at Old Trafford. As a result, they are keeping tabs on Branthwaite and are prepared to make a move in the upcoming transfer windows. The competition for Branthwaite’s signature is likely to heat up, and United may need to act swiftly to secure the promising young defender before other suitors enter the race.
