Tuesday’s Paper Round leads on Manchester United, who are interested in Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, with new Red Devils owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe already said to have compiled a summer transfer shortlist. Elsewhere, Arsenal Women are no longer pursuing Mary Earps, and Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier opens up about Bayern Munich’s transfer approaches in January.
BRANTHWAITE A TOP MAN UTD TARGET
Manchester United have made Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite one of their transfer priorities in the summer, according to the Mirror. Branthwaite, 21, is tipped to become an England regular and could even be named in Gareth Southgate’s squad on Thursday.
The centre-back is highly thought of, and Everton could therefore demand at least £75m for a player who started his career at Carlisle United before joining the Toffees in 2020.
