Stuart Pearce has urged Manchester United to go after PL star despite £43m bid rejection
Stuart Pearce has reminded Manchester United about what Premier League star, Jarrad Branthwaite would bring to the team. The Red Devils have already had a £43m bid rejected for the Everton defender.
It is expected that United will approach the table with a different offer in hand. However, the entire thing could be called off if the Toffees don’t budge from their £80m evaluation of the 21-year-old defender.
Pearce has urged United to stay on the trail for Branthwaite and believes he will do better at the next level. Let’s have a look at what else Stuart had to say about the defender while speaking to Footy Accumulators. (h/t Manchester Evening News)
“Jarrad Branthwaite has had a brilliant season for Everton and it’s good for English football that we’ve got individuals like that coming through and doing extremely well,”
“It could be Manchester United but I’m sure there’ll be other takers out there because he certainly caught the eye this year. He ticks a lot of boxes.”
Pearce also mentioned that the more pressure he faces and experience he gains will ultimately benefit Branthwaite when he steps up to the next level. While that could be at Manchester United it could just easily be anywhere else in the world.
A lot of clubs will be lining up to get a deal done for Branthwaite this summer. It would be in Manchester United’s interest not to beat around the bush and put in a respectable offer for the player.
The Red Devils will need to improve upon their £43m bid from earlier if they want any hope of signing Branthwaite this summer.
