Everton not ready to sell James Garner

According to a report from Sports Boom, signing the midfielder will not be easy. Everton will not want to lose a key player like him, and manager David Moyes regards him as a “future captain”.

The report claims that the player could cost around £55 million if Manchester United come calling in the summer. It is no secret that they need more quality in the middle of the park. The 25-year-old will add physicality, drive and defensive cover to the team.

The 25-year-old is well settled in the Premier League. He could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford. He knows the club well, having come through the ranks at Manchester United, and he could help them improve.

Can Man United sign Garner?

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United come forward with an offer to sign the player in the summer. The midfielder might feel that he has unfinished business at Old Trafford. Manchester United could provide him with the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Champions League and fight for trophies next season.

Manchester United believe that he could solve the lack of “leadership and discipline” in their engine room. Garner is not just a quality player; his ability to organise the defensive line and his vocal organisational skills could prove to be an asset for Manchester United. Furthermore, he can slot into multiple roles, and his versatility would be an added bonus.
