Former Liverpool winger warns Jarrad Branthwaite against Man Utd move

Former Liverpool winger John Barnes believes that Jarrad Branthwaite should be careful before he makes any move to Manchester United.

Everton defender Branthwaite is valued at around £70 million by his current club, which has reportedly put off United as they look for alternatives.

They have already signed Leny Yoro for around £50m from Lille, and could spend slightly less to secure Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich.

However, speaking to MyBettingSites.co.uk , Barnes suggested young players should be wary of moving to Old Trafford.

He said: “So what United have to do is to get that right before they're talking about signing players for £70 million and young players who are inexperienced. He can’t go to United like Jadon Sancho went there for a big fee and the harmony isn’t right.

"So yeah, I think that for any player they have to think hard, hard about going to United. Particularly young players who are inexperienced." 

"They have to think about whether they’re going to United at the wrong time. It's a great club, but it just may be the wrong time. And if they're looking for young players to come here to change that situation, that's not what's going to happen. The unity within the club from top to bottom has to change, fans included.”

He continued: “Going to a club like United with the disunity, the harmony not being right in the collective  and the spirit within the club won’t be a good move for anybody at this moment in time. Particularly if he’s now getting into the England squad. He’s not going to go there and automatically change things at United."

"If they're going to be a unit and they're going to be playing well in the harmony and everybody together then he would be an excellent signing but it's hard for a young player to go there as it was for Jadon Sancho.”
