MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Jarrad Branthwaite is set to sign a new long-term contract with Everton, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils are currently scouting a replacement for Lisandro Martinez, who is set to face up to three months on the sidelines with a foot injury.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Martinez first suffered the injury in April, but it became aggravated again last month and tests revealed that it had not healed properly.<\/p>\n
He underwent another operation earlier this week and is now expected to remain out of action until the new year.<\/p>\n
Man Utd had been looking at the possibility of signing Everton defender Branthwaite.<\/p>\n
However, The Daily Mail now claim that he is ready to commit his long-term future to the Toffees.<\/p>\n
