When asked about the rumours of a potential move to Man United back in April, Branthwaite simply shrugged off the comments and reiterated his focus to keeping Everton in the Premier League for next season. He said: "You have just got to block it all out. I think if you focus on the outside stuff, you get distracted from what you need to do on the pitch." Elsewhere, the Red Devils are reportedly 'very serious' about signing Lille centre-back Leny Yoro and have already submitted the 'biggest offer so far' in order to get ahead of their competition for the 18-year-old according to Spanish outlet AS.
