Manchester United are currently preparing to make a £50 million offer to the “incredible” defender, according to the report.
Man Utd’s summer transfer plan is being shaped
Entering the end of the season, Man United is on the Premier League lowest league finish course, which only had 38 points in 31 games.
One position United are very eager to strengthen is the striker, with Naples’ Victor Osimhen and Ipswichtown’s Liam broken among top targets, but CP Talisman Viktor Gyoker’s sports offer also being filed.
There are indications that Ruben Amorim wants to strengthen his team’s spine, with potential targets identified in the middle midfield, including Ederson and Joa Gomez.

Who contacts the “unbelievable” £62 million star when agents fly for a talk
The Red Devils are aiming for the striker, and their agents are scheduled to fly to England for discussion.
Not only that, but signing a new centreback is also on the agenda. While Bayer Leberkusen’s Piero Hincapie is a subject of interest, a new report reveals that the Red Devils could target defenders near their home.
According to catch-offside, Man United is currently preparing to make a £50 million offer to Everton centre-back Jarrad Brandsweight, who has been attracting widespread attention ahead of the summer transfer window.
United remain keen on the 6-foot-5 Colossus, which was their long-term goal, but could face competition for his signature from Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The move to Real Madrid may make the most sense from Everton’s point of view. Because Toffee cannot strengthen his Merseyside rivals or fellow Premier League clubs.
“Incredible” Branthwaite was able to upgrade United’s backline
It’s fair to say United’s defense isn’t their main issue this season, and they’ve scored just 37 goals in the Premier League.
But the Everton star has been praised as “incredible” by teammate Sheamus Coleman, while still potentially a solid signature as being ranked as one of the most consistent players in the Toffee squad this season.
This semester continues from the highly impressive 2023-24 campaign. He was part of the defence with the second cleanest sheets in the Premier League.
Signing a new striker this summer is Amorim’s priority, but there are plenty of indications that Branthwaite could be successful with Old Trafford if the manager has the funds to pursue a centre-back.
