Man Utd ‘set to table bid’ for £70m PL defender ‘earmarked’ by Ratcliffe to be ‘first summer signing’

Manchester United are planning to make an offer to sign Jarrad Branthwaite from Premier League rivals Everton, according to reports.

Branthwaite impressed for the Toffees in 2023/24 and has been linked with a move in the summer transfer window.

Reports have suggested that Sean Dyche s side want at around £80million for the 21-year-old but with the Premier League and their Profit and Sustainability rules (PSR) breathing down their neck.

Everton were docked eight points in 23/24 after breaching PSR and could face further repercussions if they do not sell a player or two before July.
