Now that the player is keen to move to Old Trafford and believes United is the greatest choice open to him at this time, the Red Devils have gained a significant advantage.

Although the Merseyside club has already turned down one deal from the club for the English defender, United may soon present a better offer for the 21-year-old given how obvious the need for a new defender is at the team.

The teenage defender is waiting for the Premier League’s biggest clubs to make a play for him, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. Erik ten Hag’s Man United team is the one that interests him.

Romano provided the update on his Transfer Live show on Playback. He said:

“This upcoming week, Manchester United internally will discuss again about what they want to do with Jarrad Branthwaite.

The player keeps waiting for Manchester United. He keeps believing that Manchester United is a fantastic option for his future, so he wants to go to Manchester United.

“But it also depends on Everton, and we have to see if Everton will change the conditions of the deal, because for £70 million, United are not going for Branthwaite.

“So, it has to be something different in terms of package, and we will see what happens.”

Branthwaite made 41 appearances for Sean Dyche’s team last season and helped them avoid relegation during crisis at Goodison Park.

His maturity beyond his age and his reading of the game has impressed many clubs across England.

Man United have other alternatives in mind for centre-back position
The Toffees want £70 million for the defender which United are not willing to pay.

In order to make the deal go through, United might have to include a player in a cash plus player deal to bring Everton to entertain the offer.

Despite their interest in Branthwaite, Man United have also identified alternatives for the centre-back position
