Man Utd are monitoring James Garner’s contract situation at Everton, according to reports. The 24-year-old’s current deal expires at the end of the season, and he could leave the Hill Dickinson Stadium on a free transfer. TalkSPORT claim that the Red Devils, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are “keeping tabs” on Garner just in case he doesn’t put pen to paper on an extension with Everton. Toffees boss David Moyes is believed to have made it clear that he wants to keep the midfielder, although the player has stated in recent weeks that no talks over a new contract have been held. Garner would be returning to Old Trafford If United do snap up the midfielder, he would return to the club he grew up playing for. Garner entered the Manchester side’s youth ranks in 2009 before making his senior debut against Crystal Palace in February 2019. He only played seven times for the first team, and he was sent out on loan to Watford and Forest (twice) before he was sold to Everton for a fee totalling £15m in the summer of 2022.
