Manchester United resumes interest in Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite

Summary

Manchester United has renewed their pursuit of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who is 24 years old and signed a five-year deal through June 2030. Branthwaite's impressive form this season, starting all four Premier League matches, has caught United's attention again. Previous bids for him were rejected in 2024, but with United's defenders nearing the end of their contracts, they are expected to make another approach. Everton, however, may resist selling due to the backlash from fans over previous player departures and Branthwaite's contract status.
