James Garner has taken to Instagram to send a farewell message to the whole Manchester United family.
Manchester United’s summer transfer window was undoubtedly an interesting one. Big-money signings were made, all of them were needed following a mass exodus of first-teamers.
Erik ten Hag’s squad is slowly starting to take shape, with the lads looking more than up to the challenge against Arsenal at the weekend.
We’re now at the point where the matches start to come thick and fast – hence why the beautiful is game is now a squad game more than it ever was before.
One man I assumed would be a part of that squad was James Garner. Though sadly, he was sold to Everton late on in the transfer window in a deal worth a little over £10million.
After a few days of reflection for Garner, the starlet took to Instagram to send a heartfelt farewell message to the whole club, as he leaves Old Trafford for good.
From a fans’ standpoint, I’m just gutted. I love Garner. I think he’s an unreal footballer. We’ve been singing his praises for years and I genuinely thought he had a part to play for United this season.
However, Garner’s first-team chances were always going to be slim as soon as Casemiro arrived. As we understand it, it was Ten Hag’s decision to move him on permanently. Perhaps the Dutchman has already seen enough to know that the Birkenhead-born midfielder will not fit into his system here.
That’s not to say Garner is a bad player. On the contrary in fact. I just don’t think he’s the right fit for this system. No doubt Garner will go on to enjoy his football with Everton. Hopefully, he can start playing the regular football that his talent 100% deserves.
