The Daily Star understands that Manchester City and Manchester United are both ready to move for Everton’s James McCarthy, if the midfielder fails to agree a new deal with the Toffees.
The 23 year old moved to Goodison Park just over twelve months ago on transfer deadline day, hurriedly agreeing terms in order for the £13m deal to go ahead, on the understanding that his contract could be improved based on his form.
The former Wigan Athletic man believes that he has earned a new deal, but talks are yet to commence leading him to be linked with a move away from Merseyside.
McCarthy has made forty-three appearances in all competitions for Everton, scoring his one and only goal for the club so far in the 2-0 victory at Hull City on the final day of last season while internationally; he has been capped twenty-four times for the Republic of Ireland.
