Manchester United are weighing up a move to Everton 's Jarrad Branthwaite with defensive reinforcements on their radar.
The Toffees' teenager has rarely featured this term, playing just five times and scoring once for a struggling side. Branthwaite moved to Merseyside from Carlisle United for £1m and was handed his debut by Carlo Ancelotti, who rated him highly.
The 19-year-old is well over six foot and possess strong technical skills, which are increasingly crucial in the modern game. United have shortlisted two internationals as they seek to add to their backline, but they are also keen on recruiting players whom they can develop, reports the Daily Mail.
