Manchester United Have Held Talks To Sign This Everton Defender: Decent Fit For Carrick? In a recent report , journalist Ben Jacobs mentioned that Manchester United have held talks to sign Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite. It has been claimed that the Red Devils have held discussions in February to land the English centre-back this summer.
Branthwaite’s Recent Form In English Football Branthwaite has caught the eye at times with his performances at the heart of the Everton backline after missing a lot of games due to a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old has made eight appearances for the Toffees this season, scoring one goal and securing one assist in all competitions. When fit, the English talent is among the most talented centre-backs in the Premier League .
Thus, Man United would do well to snap him up in the upcoming transfer window. His current contract at the Hill Dickinson Stadium will expire in the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to land him on a cut-price deal later this year.

Branthwaite is a good tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to secure possession back for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when needed and is a tidy passer as well.
