Football Insider has now revealed that Branthwaite has now become United’s number-one centre-back target ahead of the summer Amidst the uncertainty of the futures of Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire, it is explained that Erik Ten Hag is prioritising signing a left-sided centre-back and has set his sights on the 21-year-old. While the Red Devils are also said to be monitoring other centre-backs, Branthwaite is now ahead of every other name on their wishlist, with Everton responding by slapping a £100m price tag on their academy graduate. While Postecoglou has made it clear that Tottenham will look to sign another centre-back in the summer, I suspect the club will pursue a young, up-and-coming player in the £20m-£40m price range rather than shelling out a huge fee for a fourth choice centre-half.
