Jamie Carragher is still of the opinion Manchester City are the team to beat as the business end of the Premier League season approaches.
Jamie Carragher's glowing Jarrad Branthwaite verdict as Man United 'weigh up £75m transfer'
21.02.2024 - 16:17 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Jamie Carragher has praised Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite - who is a reported transfer target for Manchester United.
The 21-year-old defender is enjoying an impressive season with Everton after spending last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven under the guidance of ex-United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. Now, it has been claimed in the Daily Mail that he's on Manchester United's shortlist for transfers, with Tottenham and Real Madrid also said to be showing interest with Everton reportedly ready to demand £75m for the defender.
Carragher, who played over 700 times for Liverpool, spoke highly of Branthwaite on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football before Everton's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. He described Branthwaite as "special."

"I think he is," Carragher said again. "And what is really special as well is the amount of centre-backs we have in the Premier League aged 21 or younger.
"I remember being a young lad going in myself at Liverpool and it's an unforgiven position, I had to go to full-back for the next three or four years and then go back to centre-back, so you can see the quality we have.
"Branthwaite has been outstanding, Murillo [of Nottingham Forest] I think has been outstanding. But I think this lad [Branthwaite] has been pretty special and he's a big part of why, in my eyes, Everton still have a great chance of staying up; him and his partnership with [James] Tarkowski."
Even though he couldn't stop Jordan Ayew from firing Palace ahead at Goodison Park on Monday night, Branthwaite has been part of an impressive defensive unit this term, with only title-chasing Arsenal earning more clean
