Man Utd confirm Zirkzee signing as Romano reveals Ratcliffe ‘hope’ for Branthwaite

Manchester United hope Everton will change their stance on Jarrad Branthwaite after rejecting two bids for the defender, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Red Devils have had two offers knocked back by their Premier League rivals for the England defender, going up to £50million including add-ons after an initial £43m bid.

Branthwaite appears to be relaxed over his future and is not actively pushing for a move to Old Trafford.

However, transfer expert Romano says the 21-year-old is keen on the move , with hoping Everton reduce their £70m asking price.

At the moment, they have no intention to negotiate, no intention to accept £45million, £50million, £55million so it has to be completely different numbers in order to make the deal happen, he said.
