Manchester United set to sell James Garner to Everton

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

James Garner is set to move to Everton after Manchester United accepted a bid for the midfielder. The 21-year-old was put up for the sale earlier this month after failing to make the breakthrough into Erik ten Hag's first-team plans this summer and it's the Toffees who have won the race for his signature.

Garner will complete his move to Goodison Park before the transfer window closes on Thursday, with United understood to have accepted a bid of just under £15million.

Ten Hag took Garner on United's pre-season tour but the midfielder picked up an injury in the first training session and managed just 23 minutes in the last of four friendlies in Thailand and Australia.

He was told he could leave the club in mid-August and the £60million signing of Casemiro has only added to the competition in United's midfield.
