Manchester United supporters have advised the club against pursuing a highly valued £70 million defender following a disastrous outing at Chelsea.
Cole Palmer humiliates Branthwaite
Jarrad Branthwaite, reportedly a top priority target for United this summer, featured in Everton’s starting lineup for their match at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening. However, by halftime, Branthwaite likely regretted his inclusion.
Chelsea’s in-form star Cole Palmer netted a remarkable first-half hat-trick, with Nicolas Jackson adding a fourth goal as the relegation-threatened Toffees faltered.
Branthwaite’s discomfort was particularly evident in the opener, where the England international effortlessly bypassed him with a clever nutmeg, leaving him grounded before slotting a brilliant strike into the bottom corner.
Branthwaite’s defensive lapses continued as he was caught out of position for Chelsea and Palmer’s second goal.
Manchester United fans express concern over potential Branthwaite transfer
According to The Mirror, the performance prompted Manchester United fans to voice their concerns on social media. One supporter expressed, “Anything over 40mil for Branthwaite would be stupid.”
Another said,”50m of the kings finest for this Branthwaite fella.”
Throughout the first half against Chelsea, Manchester United fans continued to express their concerns. Another supporter remarked, “No way this Jarrad Branthwaite guy costs £60mil.”
Another user remarked, “Branthwaite just got sent again I don’t rate this guy gives serious Maguire vibes.”
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy reported in recent news that Before Chelsea’s fifth goal against Everton, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, and Nicolas Jackson were involved in a physical altercation. The Blues asserted their dominance over their opponents, ultimately triumphing with a 6-0 victory.
