Manchester United is now observing Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite in anticipation of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Jarrad Branthwaite offered a statement regarding his future at Everton after the team’s 1-0 victory against Burnley on Saturday.
Recently, there has been much speculation about the potential transfer of the 21-year-old defender to Manchester United. This deal is being pursued by Erik ten Hag in order to strengthen his team’s defense during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Branthwaite, whose contract at Goodison Park is set to end in 2027, has made 28 appearances in the Premier League this season, playing a crucial role in Sean Dyche’s team avoiding relegation to the Championship despite a points deduction.
The outstanding displays of the England Under-21 player have allegedly attracted the attention of several clubs, including the Reds.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the club has identified the teenager as their top choice for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Although Ten Hag has taken notice of Branthwaite, the player has emphasized his commitment to winning games for Everton before considering his choices in the summer.
When asked about the conjecture surrounding his future, the goalkeeper, who was born in Cumbria, responded by saying: “You simply need to ignore it completely.”
