Manchester United intends to re-sign former youth players, and the contract will expire next summer for free! He was once hailed as Carrick s successor

According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, Manchester United is interested in signing Everton midfielder James Garner next summer. It is worth mentioning that this English midfielder came from the Red Devils youth training system. He was regarded as the "successor of Carrick" in the past. He was once highly favored during Solskjaer's coaching era, but failed to make a difference. He was rented out to Watford and Nottingham Forest, and finally transferred to Everton for 9 million pounds.

Manchester United's key position for transformation next year is the midfielder. Premier League players such as Adam Walton, Elliott Anderson and Carlos Baleba have already been included in the inspection list. Compared with them, Ghana is very cost-effective. His contract expires at the end of June next year and Manchester United is considering signing him on a free transfer.

Under the guidance of David Moyes, Garner's career has made significant progress. United believe Garner's versatility in multiple positions could make him an important addition to the squad of Ruben Amorim or any other potential new manager.

This 24-year-old English player has not only played as a midfielder this season, but also has performed well at the left back position. In this season's Premier League, Ghana's passing success rate reached 88%, and its confrontation success rate was nearly 60%. In each game, Ghana also completed 5 steals, 3 interceptions and 3 clearances, and contributed 2 goals to the team.

And he may be available on a free transfer, which is in sharp contrast to the expensive prices of other Premier League midfielders. Brighton's Baleba is priced at 120 million pounds, and Crystal Palace's Walton may also cost 80 million pounds. Although Manchester United believes that it can reach a deal for 60 million pounds, the ideas of the Red Devils transfer department usually backfire.

It is rumored that Manchester United also met with the "CAA Stellar Agency" this week. The team represents England international Elliott Anderson, but Nottingham Forest may also ask for a transfer fee of 70 million pounds. Manchester United believes that the reasonable valuation of these midfielders is between 50 million and 60 million pounds, but the other party will not agree to sell them at such a price.

Manchester United needs to improve the quality and quantity of players in the midfield position. Casemiro is about to turn 34. When his contract expires next summer, it is still questionable whether to renew it. Signing Ghana will be a very cost-effective deal for Manchester United.

Garner has reached the peak of his career, but whether he will consider returning to Old Trafford on a free transfer, the key question is whether he is willing to become a substitute rotation. Angel Gomez, whose contract with Lille expired this summer, was once rumored to be returning to Manchester United, but ended up going to Marseille because he could play the main role there.

Graeme Bailey said: "Manchester United understands Ghana's situation. They have been paying attention to youth academy graduates, and his performance has been particularly good. I heard that he was rated very well in the transfer department report. Under Moyes, Ghana had a brilliant season at Everton, which attracted the attention of many clubs, including Manchester United."

Ghana's agent may be using the reputation of his old club Manchester United to obtain better contract renewal terms for him, or to attract other potential buyers. Today, the Red Devils are still responsible for the traffic in international football, but they are not necessarily the first choice for player transfers.

British media revealed this week that Manchester United had originally paid close to 30 million pounds to introduce Ipswich's Liam Delap in the summer window. However, after Chelsea intervened, Delap chose to go to Stamford Bridge because of Champions League qualification. Manchester United had to spend more than twice the price, using 74 million pounds to introduce Sheshko.

This resulted in the club having no money to buy a new midfielder. Chris Wheeler and Nathan Salter of the "Daily Mail" said: "Manchester United had already completed 90% of the transfer, but in the end Delap was taken away, which resulted in them having to use the funds to buy the midfielder."
