Centre-back arrival: Three Branthwaite alternatives Man United could target
Unless Everton are prepared to drop their substantial asking price for Jarrad Branthwaite, which is believed to be in the region of £80m, then it is very difficult to imagine the defender joining Manchester United this summer.
As a result, the Red Devils could be forced to switch their focus elsewhere, with the club in the market for a replacement for Raphael Varane.
Jonny Evans has still not signed a new deal, while Victor Lindelof is being linked with an exit, so it is possible that two new centre-backs could move to Old Trafford this summer.
Here, Sports Mole looks at three Branthwaite alternatives for Man United, with the club certain to have a number of names on their centre-back shortlist for the current market.
