Man Utd still deciding on Jarrad Branthwaite

Manchester United are reportedly still deciding on whether to make another attempt towards the transfer of Jarrad Branthwaite.

According to Sky Sports, Everton turned down the latest offer thought to be in the region of £45m plus £5m in add-ons earlier this month.

Speaking on his live show, via Playback, Fabrizio Romano suggested that United have kept constant contact with agents of Branthwaite – with talks between the two being ‘absolutely active’ for the time being as the club’s recruitment chiefs weigh up yet another move for the Toffees youngster.

Romano said, “Jarrad Branthwaite, we said already that Manchester United had two bids rejected, so that’s the situation for Branthwaite. Let’s see if Manchester United will return – for sure, they keep their contacts active with the agent of the player. The contacts between Manchester United and the agent of Branthwaite are absolutely active, I can guarantee that.”
