Everton have agreed a deal with Manchester United worth £15million for midfielder James Garner, talkSPORT understands.Garner, 21, had also attracted.

“In addition to the impressive game vision, he always plays with his head up, has an impressive shot and an incredible pass, he is a player I admire a lot.” Speaking in 2020, Fred said of Garner: “Not because he is in the same position as me, but he is a player who has an impressive vision of the game and has a huge future for United. Now Ten Hag has given Garner – who has been at United since the age of eight – the green light to move and he is set to join Everton for a fee of £15million.

James Garner is set to leave Man Utd and while there is some disappointment he never got a chance, the deal makes sense for the club.

This is exactly the kind of approach to academies that Manchester City and Liverpool have taken in recent years. So far Andreas Pereira (£10million) is the only player to leave the club for a fee. The excitement around Garner stemmed from his hugely successful loan spell with Nottingham Forest last season and it's clear he has earned a chance in the Premier League. He is now 21 and another loan is unlikely to do much to alter his first-team opportunities at the club. Those two clubs have again made use of that strategy this season. For Garner, it had to be this season or bust at United.

Manchester United academy graduate James Garner looks set to join Premier League side Everton on loan in a deal worth up to £15 million.

The deal would reach up to £15 million including add-ons which are most likely performance or appearance related.

He spent half a season with Watford in 20/21 before being switched to Nottingham Forest, where he became a fan favourite. However, it came to light recently that the Englishman could be let go for good.

After a decade of turmoil between supporters and Manchester United's decision-makers, the club's new CEO could be a man of his word...

Arnold is understood to be determined to spearhead a change for the good at United, leaving football decisions to Murtough and Ten Hag. James Garner is set to join Everton for a fee in the region of £15m following Andreas Pereira's £10m move to Fulham. A member of the group secretly filmed his hard-hitting comments, and he said more off camera. Those dealings, thought to be United's final movements in the transfer window, would leave their summer net spend at £201m. He bought those present a round of beers from the bar and sat down for a brutally honest conversation for two hours. But more interestingly, he claimed there was £200million available for transfers and that he wouldn't let other targets slip.
