Everton could let go 21- year old star to Manchester United.

According to the source, United may be looking to add a central defender in January, and Branthwaite is one of the players the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League champions are keeping an eye on.

Currently sitting on the sidelines is Lisandro Martinez.

In January, Harry Maguire’s future will become clear.

According to the source, Branthwaite is also attracting interest from Manchester City, and the 21-year-old center back for the England Under-21 team is negotiating a new contract with Everton.

In the summer of 2025, Branthwaite’s Everton contract expires.

This season, the 21-year-old has made five appearances in the Premier League.

The young player has also represented the Toffees once in the EFL Cup.

In the Premier League, Branthwaite has so far made 15 appearances.

In those contests, the defender has recorded one goal and one shutout.
