It is thought the Toffees player would be tempted with the move to Old Trafford, due the stature of the club, after being a first-team regular at Goodison Park this season and impressing with his performances.

The 24-year-old former Wigan player signed a five year deal in 2018 following a £13 million move, so is unlikely to be available on the cheap to the Red Devils. McCarthy is though to be an alternative to Roma’s Kevin Strootman though, owing to the Dutchman’s poor injury history.

The Irishman’s Everton side have largely failed to live up to expectations this year, sitting 14th in the Premier League just six points above the relegation zone.
