Manchester United midfielder James Garner is a loan target for Preston and Wigan Athletic.

Both clubs are ready to make a move for the 18-year-old when the January window opens in a couple of months, says The Sun.

Sunderland are also looking at the midfielder as part of their promotion push in League One.

Garner has travelled for Thursday's Europa League clash against Partizan Belgrade in Serbia.

But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will weigh up whether he will be allowed out for regular games in the New Year.

Alex Neil is willing to take him to Deepdale as he looks to get into the Premier League, while Paul Cook at Wigan is also a big fan of the teenager.
