"I'm very grateful for all the support and all the love I've had over the past three-and-a-half years, but it's just the start. I've seen the progress we've made recently. Now I want to be part of that progress and get us back to where the Club deserves to be. I feel like I'm now a part of the Club and I'm hoping to be a part of it for a long time."
"Garner was on United's books as a youngster, but only made seven first-team appearances for the Red Devils in total before moving on. The England Under-21 international has done well to rebuild his career since then, becoming an important player at Everton. MUFC could certainly have done with bringing Garner back if possible as they look to rebuild in midfield, but they'll have to look at other options now as it looks like he'll be staying at Everton for the long term."
James Garner has signed a new contract with Everton and appears to have rejected interest from Manchester United. Garner, 24, had been nearing the end of his previous Everton deal while United monitored him ahead of the summer. Garner expressed excitement and gratitude, cited three-and-a-half years of support, pride in club progress, family ties to Everton, and a desire to stay long-term and help return the club to where it belongs. Garner previously made seven first-team appearances for Manchester United as a youngster and has rebuilt his career into an important England Under-21 international and Everton midfielder. Manchester United will now seek other midfield options.
