July 19. Following Manchester United’s announcement of the signing of 18-year-old Lille center-back Jolo, Branthwaite spoke to the club’s radio station, seemingly responding to transfer rumors linking him with Manchester United. Everton had previously rejected two bids from Manchester United for this young international.
“I think it’s important for me to take what I learned last season and the season before and combine them. I think all the games I played last season helped me perform at my best and get the experience I needed. I’ll take that into this season and continue learning. When you have good defensive stats, it gives you confidence. It’s not just the defenders’ contribution, but the whole team’s.” Branthwaite said in an interview with Everton TV.
“I think for any youngster, any young player, the most important thing is to play as many games as possible to get the experience you need. You can only gain experience in games and apply that to every game I played last season. That helped me a lot with my performances.”
This comment about playing time appears to be Branthwaite’s response to the transfer rumors, also suggesting his likely stay at the club for the upcoming season.
