Manchester United supporters are convinced that Erik ten Hag should deploy James Garner as his number six next season after watching the academy graduate put in a mature display for England Under-21s.
Garner, 21, will be assessed by Ten Hag during pre-season as the Dutchman plots his summer rebuild. United are to set their sights on at least one central midfield signing, meanwhile, with Frenkie de Jong and Leeds talisman Kalvin Phillips identified as targets for the engine room.
If either or both of those players arrive, it would naturally effect Garner and his prospects of breaking into the first-team picture in time for next season. He spent last term on loan with Nottingham Forest and caught the eye with a string of impressive performances in their promotion-winning charge.
