Frank Lampard sends message to Everton midfielder James Garner ahead of Manchester United clash

Everton manager Frank Lampard has insisted that former Manchester United midfielder James Garner is ready to feature for the Merseyside club.

Garner has not played a single minute of football since joining the Toffees from the Reds in the summer transfer window, with the 21-year-old only making the bench on four occasions so far this term. The midfielder, who left United in search of first-team football, arrived at Goodison Park in a deal that could eventually be worth up to £15million.

The youngster had been with the Reds since under-8 level, but was keen to move away from Old Trafford to get regular minutes under his belt. However, he has been unable to break into the Everton side and is currently behind Idrissa Gueye, Amadou Onana and Alex Iwobi in the midfield pecking order.
