Immersed in a chaotic season, Manchester United is preparing his summer transfer window. To strengthen the workforce of Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils checked the name of Jarrad Branthwaite, central defender of Everton, said The Sun. Despite the refusal of the Toffees to negotiate last year, the Red Devils are ready to make a new offer of almost 60 million euros. But to join Old Trafford, the 22 -year -old is a clear condition: he wants the Mancunians to qualify for the Champions League next season. An almost impossible goal via the championship, but which could be accomplished in the event of a final victory in the Europa League. The Englishman makes this criterion a point of honor, since he wishes to be noticed by Thomas Tuchel and playing the 2026 World Cup with the Three Lions.

On the side of United, the desire to acquire Branthwaite is motivated by the prolonged absence of Lisandro Martinez, victim of a rupture of the crossed ligament in February, and the advanced age of Harry Maguire. The possible departures of Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof at the end of the contract also accentuate this need for reinforcements. But to be able to put the grapple on the left -hander, the Jim Ratcliffe club will have to make liquidity.
