Manchester United renews interest in Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of January

Summary

Manchester United has reportedly made contact regarding a potential move for Jarrad Branthwaite, with plans to pursue him as early as January 2027. The club has long been interested in the Everton defender, who received a 7.0 rating in a recent match against United. Despite United's previous bid rejections in 2024, they are prepared to make a lucrative offer if Everton is willing to negotiate mid-season. If unsuccessful, United may reignite their pursuit next summer after Branthwaite's growing prominence in the Premier League.
