Angel Gomes clarifies social media response to Manchester United treatment of James Garner

Former Manchester United player Angel Gomes has denied intentionally 'liking' a tweet criticising the club's treatment of James Garner after the midfielder joined Everton this summer.

Garner, who spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest, signed a four-year deal with the Toffees, which runs until the summer of 2026. The 21-year-old joined United's academy as an eight-year-old, before progressing through the ranks — eventually making his first-team debut in February 2019 at the age of 17, coming on as a substitute against Crystal Palace.

He helped Forest win promotion to the Premier League last season after Steve Cooper's side were victorious in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final. However, he was deemed surplus to requirements by United boss Erik ten Hag after returning to Old Trafford in the summer.
