Manchester United's sporting director, Dan Ashworth, is determined to sign Jarrad Branthwaite for the club next year, according to HITC. The Red Devils were interested in acquiring the England international last summer and made three transfer offers, but none met Everton's £80 million valuation, leading to Branthwaite staying with the Toffees. Despite this, speculation about his future continues, with Ashworth reportedly still pursuing the defender for Old Trafford. United recently made significant defensive signings in Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, but are looking to make another high-profile addition. With Lindelof and Maguire potentially leaving next summer, United may revisit their pursuit of Branthwaite. The player had already agreed to personal terms on a £150,000 per week contract earlier in the year, making a transfer relatively straightforward if a fee is agreed upon. However, Everton is unlikely to lower their asking price.
