Manchester United are willing to pay 55 million for Everton defender Jarred Branthwaite.

The Red Devils are very much on the hunt for new center halves in the summer.

With Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans near certainties to depart, and others on the chopping block, two or three new defenders may arrive.

Per The Mail, United are willing to pay a big fee to make Branthwaite one of those players.

They are ready to put in a bid that would seriously test Everton's resolve to hold onto the player.

The Toffees value Branthwaite but have to balance the books due to Profit and Sustainability Rules.
