Manchester United raised a few eyebrows with their decision to cash in on academy product James Garner before the transfer window closed.
Many supporters were keen for the midfielder to be given a first-team shot but new United manager Erik ten Hag instead opted to make him available for a permanent move elsewhere.
Everton swooped to sign Garner on deadline day for a fee that could rise to £15million. Despite the big-money move the 21-year-old has yet to appear for his new side.

Toffees' boss Frank Lampard did not call upon him for the Merseyside derby against Liverpool earlier this month, but after a fortnight of training with his new teammates he has confirmed Garner is in the running to make his debut on Sunday when West Ham visit Goodison Park.
Lampard said: "He has trained really well. I'm a big fan of his and really pleased we managed to bring him to the club because I watched him a lot, particularly last season.
"I like his attributes a lot as a midfield player, really happy to meet him as a lad and he's trained really hard. He's now fit for selection and gives us another type of option in midfield with his qualities."
