Danny Murphy has insisted he is 'surprised' that Manchester United have sanctioned a deal to allow James Garner to depart for Everton.
The 21-year-old is set to return to Merseyside in a £15m deal that would see Frank Lampard complete his seventh signing of the summer window, with Sky Sports News reporting that a transfer has already been agreed between the two clubs for Garner.
Having impressed on loan with Nottingham Forest just last season, Garner's game time at Old Trafford looks likely to be hindered by the recent arrival of former Real Madrid star Casemiro.
