Tyler Blackett
A third United player who has been linked with a move to Everton is defender Tyler Blackett.
The left-back—who can also feature in the centre—enjoyed something of a break-through campaign last term, making 11 Premier League appearances.
However, he demonstrated his naivety, and United’s quest for defensive reinforcements—the likes of Mats Hummels, Nicolas Otamendi, Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane have all been linked to Old Trafford—suggests that van Gaal wants to upgrade his options at the back.
A move to Goodison Park would represent a good ‘next step’ for the 21-year-old, and he could learn a lot alongside the likes of Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines.
