MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly decided to sell youngster James Garner.
The highly-rated Red Devils youngster has spent the best part of two seasons on loan at Nottingham Forest, helping secure promotion to the Prem.
The Athletic report that the Red Devils are open to offers for the 21-year-old with several Prem rivals interested.
Tottenham, Everton, Southampton and Leeds are all said to be keen on Garner, with Forest uncertain after recruiting heavily.
The value expected by Old Trafford bosses is reported to be between £14m and £20m.
The England youth team prospect went on the club’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia.

However, he wasn’t able to impress Erik ten Hag after picking up a minor injury.
He has since been an unused substitute in the demoralising defeats against Brighton and Brentford.
It is disappointing for the starlet, who impressed at Forest last term under Steve Cooper.
He made 49 appearances for Steve Cooper’s side, scoring four goals and providing eight assists.

Garner is no longer willing to play second fiddle to others, insisting he plans to build on the progress he made at the City Ground.
Speaking to The Mail, he said: “I had a really good season last season – full of confidence, full of experience. The experience I didn’t have, I feel that now I do have.
“I played in some big pressure games and I just think it’s a new and improved me. It was almost as perfect a loan experience that I could possibly have had.
“I played pretty much every single game, played well and ended up winning promotion. For me, it’s probably the perfect loan.
“I’ve had two full seasons now where I’ve played pretty much back-to-back every week, two or three times a week.
“So, for me not to do that now I think would be a step back in my career and that’s something I don’t really want to do at the moment.”
