Even though the transfer window is still many months away, Manchester United will be getting ready for a busy summer in terms of hiring.

After Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos Group recently assumed control of football operations at Old Trafford, this will be the first transfer window of the new era.

After a dismal season, the club will definitely want to bolster the roster, however it’s unclear if Erik ten Hag will be leading the drive.

The Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite is one player with whom United has already been strongly associated.

Ian Wright, the legendary Arsenal player, has selected the center-back for the first time in the England squad. He will start for the Three Lions against Harry Maguire.

Wright stated, “You watch Jarrad Branthwaite with Everton this season, and you think he’s good,” in an interview with the Stick to Football podcast.

“Where’s the pace? Oh, that was great. comprehension of the game? Wonderful. Taking aim at the ball? outstanding in both categories. fading away.

You assume that they must be observing him.

“When you see him in there with that kind of pace alongside John Stones, who is having an incredible season himself, you start to realize how strong our team is.”

You could be forgiven for questioning whether United would be better off allocating their meager resources to positions other than center defense.

Even if Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane alone have received almost £70 million in recent years, fresh reinforcements are required.

United has suffered greatly from injuries this season, and Martinez’s departure has been especially hurtful since Ten Hag has been unable to play his ideal brand of football without the Argentine’s ability to play the ball.

Due to injury issues with Varane, Maguire, and Victor Lindelof as well, 36-year-old Jonny Evans has had to play a lot more than anticipated.

Branthwaite seems like the ideal addition to United’s defense, which needs more depth.
