Jarrad Branthwaite is among the talented young centre-backs that Man Utd are looking at with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano admitting that the Red Devils could make at least one signing in that position this summer .
Romano wrote in his Caught Offside column: Jarrad Branthwaite is having a fine season with Everton and we’re again seeing media reports of Manchester United being interested in the talented young centre-back, though other outlets are also suggesting he might be too expensive for them.
The reality is that it’s still early days on this story for sure Branthwaite is appreciated by Man United and is one of three or four names on their shortlist, but we’ll have to wait and see if this develops into anything more.
