Man United handed fresh Ja…. transfer concern just days after… injury.
Manchester United have encountered a setback in their pursuit of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite this summer. The club has had two offers for the 22-year-old England international turned down by Everton.
Branthwaite, who played 35 Premier League matches last season and helped Everton secure 12 clean sheets, remains a target for United, particularly after their recent defensive issues following new signing Leny Yoro’s injury.
Despite being keen on adding another centre-back, United’s defensive concerns have intensified.
Branthwaite himself is currently out after undergoing a minor operation and has not featured in Everton’s pre-season.
Everton manager Sean Dyche noted that Branthwaite’s recovery process is taking longer due to the surgery.
With Branthwaite’s return date uncertain, Everton is holding firm on their £70 million valuation for the young defender following his impressive season.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has not ruled out additional defensive signings before the transfer window closes, stating that the club is always looking for opportunities to strengthen the squad.
