Man Utd Hold Talks to Sign ‘Unbelievable’ Midfielder in ‘Shock’ January Deal

Manchester United are eyeing a ‘shock’ deal to re-sign James Garner from Everton in January, according to the Daily Mail.

The Red Devils splashed the cash in the summer to reinforce their attack with Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, while they also brought in a new goalkeeper in Senne Lammens.

Now the idea is to strengthen their midfield options in 2026, but while they have identified some big-money targets ahead of next summer, it has now been revealed that they are also eyeing a cut-price option as soon as January to help Ruben Amorim’s squad this season, in the shape of a familiar face.

Garner, who has been described as ‘unbelievable’, is out of contract at the end of the current season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and his performances have caught the attention of his former club.

The central midfielder, who can also play at full-back, has emerged as someone who is climbing up the club’s transfer shortlist as they ponder making a move to bring someone in next month rather than waiting until the summer.
