The Red Devils are targeting Everton's promising young centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, amid a willingness to sell both Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane.

Jarrad Branthwaite is only 21 years old but has been a mainstay in Everton's defence this season, making 31 appearances.

Branthwaite's impressive form has earned him his first call-up to the England squad for the friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.

The two-footed centre-back has yet to make his Three Lions debut, but is seen by experts as the future of England's defence.

Exclusive sources from the Telegraph said that MU is leading the race to sign Jarrad Branthwaite - currently valued at over 50 million pounds by Everton.

If the transfer is successful, coach Ten Hag will sell the duo Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire, both of whom are under contract until the summer of 2025.

Varane is a target for rich clubs in Saudi Arabia, while West Ham will continue to attract Maguire after failing to sign him last summer.

The new owner of MU - Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to cut high-paid staff. Therefore, Varane, Maguire and Casemiro will be sold to make room for new faces.

Everton are keen to keep Branthwaite, but their chances of staying are slim if they are relegated to the Championship next season.
