Prem boss reveals he is not surprised Manchester United wants £80M valued star!
Sean Dyche admitted he is not surprised to see Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite continually linked with rival Premier League clubs, with reports that Manchester United are still interested in a deal for the star.
Branthwaite emerged as a top target for Manchester United this summer after an impressive Premier League campaign which almost saw the centre-back make England’s final 26-man squad for Euro 2024.
And Dyche insisted that Branthwaite remains happy at the club but is not surprised that the likes of Man United are still interested in a potential deal – he said: ‘I think I said in the summer that any player, it’s a worldwide market now, it’s not just about one player,’ he said at a press conference on Thursday.
‘The way the game changed, certainly in Europe, the transfer situation has opened up. It’s not a surprise good players are linked with other clubs. I said in the summer he’ll be staying here and he is so that’s good.’
Asked about how the pending takeover could affect the sale of Branthwaite, Dyche replied: ‘The club has a situation it is still looking upon. If new ownership goes through, that might change things financially but we don’t know that yet. We’ll just have to wait and see.
‘I didn’t really speak to him about it [interest from United in the summer], he’s still here. I’m not going to sit there and chat endlessly about stories in the paper which 99 per cent are not true so there’s no point.
‘He seems fine other than being injured, which has been a blow to him, he’s been fine.’

Right now, Manchester United should not really be worrying about adding the squad as they need results – Erik Ten Hag may not even be in charge by the next transfer window to make a move for Branthwaite.
