The summer transfer window is heating up, and Mcw brings you the latest updates, tactical insights, and expert analysis on the biggest stories shaping football today. From blockbuster contract renewals to shocking exit rumors, here’s everything you need to know.
Manchester United Eye Jarrad Branthwaite Amid Everton’s Financial Woes
Everton’s rising star Jarrad Branthwaite is reportedly on Manchester United’s radar, with the Toffees bracing for his exit due to financial pressures. The 21-year-old center-back has been a revelation this season, combining physicality with composure on the ball—a profile perfectly suited for Erik ten Hag’s rebuild.
Expert Take (Mark Thompson, Tactical Analyst for Mcw):
“Branthwaite’s ability to play out from the back and dominate aerially makes him a rare commodity. United’s leaky defense could benefit massively, but they’ll face competition from other top clubs.”
