Liverpool are reportedly set to challenge Manchester United for the signing of defender Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton. Liverpool sees him as a potential replacement for Virgil van Dijk.

Remains a target for Man Utd, though a deal is unlikely to be completed this window. (Daily Mail)

Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite is a player Manchester United still admire and remains an option, subject to having budget and squad space available as the window evolves.

Jarrad Branthwaite played successfully under Ruud van Nistelrooy during a loan at PSV Eindhoven.

There appear to be complications around the deal involving Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite.

Everton are prepared to sell any star player this summer, including goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and defender Jarrad Branthwaite, to ease their financial issues.
