Man United Monitor January Return for James Garner as Everton Face Contract Call

A looming club option at Everton could determine whether United find a short-term opening.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Manchester United are considering a January move for 24-year-old academy graduate James Garner, now at Everton.
  • Everton are negotiating fresh terms with Garner, whose deal runs out in June and includes a club option for an extra year.
  • Manager David Moyes has stated he would not be letting Garner go and signalled the club will do everything possible to keep him.
  • If the option is not exercised before January 1, Garner can agree a pre-contract with an overseas club for a free summer move.
  • United view Garner as a cost-effective midfield option, with reports indicating a major summer spend is being reserved for Elliott Anderson.
