Wes Brown Hints at Being Highly Impressed by ‘Exceptional’ Everton Player with Potential for Greatness

Jarrad Branthwaite’s Performances Have Garnered Attention Throughout the 2023/24 Season

The 21-year-old has established a formidable partnership with James Tarkowski, contributing to Everton’s tally of eight clean sheets in the Premier League.

Rumors regarding his future at Goodison Park have naturally intensified, with Manchester United reportedly monitoring his progress.

Now, one of United’s former defenders has been deliberating on Branthwaite’s future potential.

Wes Brown Expresses Admiration for Jarrad Branthwaite’s Performance

Talking to DAZN, Wes Brown expressed his admiration for the performances of the Everton player.

“It would be nice for the club [Manchester United] to go and get some younger players like Branthwaite,” he said.

“You have to look at the personality of players when making these decisions and what I mean by that are players who are going to give 100% and give it their all. That’s a big contributor when you’re buying people, and he seems like a motivated young player.”

He added: “Branthwaite is a really good player and has performed well at Everton, although you never know how players will turn out. Look at Lisandro Martinez – nobody had a lot of faith in him when he first came in, but I think he’s been really good because he has the required attitude that you need to play with at Manchester United. If Branthwaite possesses that, then there’s no reason why he can’t reach the highest levels.”

Everton in a Strong Position

Everton is in a strong position regarding the 21-year-old’s future. There’s no immediate need to sell, as the defender is contracted until the summer of 2027.

Furthermore, considering his age, the Toffees can aim to demand a significant fee should any interest materialize in the summer.

For now, Sean Dyche has remained resolute regarding the defender’s future and emphasized that there’s currently no urgency to sell.

“We don’t want to sell any good players. It’s as simple as that, and he’s proven to be a very good player,” he said.

“We’re not in the business of trying to sell players. You only sell players if you have to or if there’s a problem. There’s no problem; therefore, I’m just hoping we don’t need to sell players. At the moment, we certainly don’t. So we will see.”
