Manchester United’s Summer Transfer Plans: Branthwaite in Focus
Manchester United are setting their sights on bolstering their squad this summer, with Everton's young defender Jarrad Branthwaite emerging as a prime target. Reports from various sources suggest that the Red Devils are keen on securing Branthwaite's services, with a potential swap deal involving players like Harry Maguire being discussed. Everton, however, are not willing to let their promising talent go without a hefty price tag, rumored to be around £70m.
The interest in Branthwaite comes at a time when Manchester United are looking to rejuvenate their defense. The young defender's performances have caught the eye of manager Erik ten Hag, who sees him as a long-term investment. Amidst the transfer buzz, there's also speculation about the involvement of Sporting CP's manager Ruben Amorim, who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. However, any move for Amorim could hinge on the success of their transfer dealings, including the potential acquisition of Branthwaite.
