Manchester United are monitoring Everton's teenage defender Jarrad Branthwaite.
The stylish left-sided centre back is on loan at Blackburn Rovers where he has been gaining first team experience and impressing observers with his assured performances.
Branthwaite joined Everton from Carlisle United a year ago in a £1million deal and the then 17-year old quickly made an impression on Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff.
After turning 18 in June, he made his first team debut against Wolves the following month and went on to make four Premier League appearances.
