United's Transfer Plans
Manchester United are set to make a move for Jarrad Branthwaite, with plans to bring in Jason Wilcox as their new transfer expert. Wilcox, who is currently football director at Southampton, is expected to join United soon, potentially giving them an edge in negotiations for Branthwaite.
Branthwaite's Potential Move
The 21-year-old centre-back, highly rated at Everton, could be a marquee signing for United as they look to strengthen their defense. Reports suggest a fee exceeding £80 million could be involved in the deal, with Branthwaite standing out in a challenging season for Everton.
Future of England's Defense
Branthwaite's talent has not gone unnoticed, as he was even called up to England's squad for recent friendlies. With doubts surrounding the futures of Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire at United, Branthwaite could be a key addition to the team.
Potential Outgoings at United
With new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe looking to make changes, Varane and Maguire could be on the way out to make room for fresh faces. West Ham is reportedly interested in Maguire, while Varane has attracted attention from clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Impressive Loan Spell
Branthwaite has already made a mark during a loan spell at PSV Eindhoven, showcasing his skills with notable performances. His potential move to Manchester United could be a significant step in his career.
