Everton's James McCarthy on Man Utd radar

Manchester United are reportedly considering a surprise move for Everton midfielder James McCarthy in the upcoming transfer window.

With the appointment of new manager Louis van Gaal, the Red Devils are expected to have a major squad overhaul.

 

Sky Sports claims that former Wigan star McCarthy has apparently caught the eye of Van Gaal, having received a thorough scout report on his performances for the Toffees in the recently concluded Premier League season.

 

The Toffees are believed to be keen on offering a new deal to the 23-year-old. However, United could entice the Merseysiders in letting go of their player, by offering Tom Cleverly as part of the deal.
