Nottingham Forest are reportedly stuck waiting for Manchester United's proposed deal with Adrien Rabiot to be finalised before going after young midfielder James Garner.
Garner, who featured 49 times for Steve Cooper's side last season, was a staple of Forest's midfield alongside Ryan Yates as a loanee from United and Forest have shown interest in bringing him back on a permanent deal.
The 20-year-old, who would be competing with the likes of Scott McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen and Donny Van De Beek if he stayed at United, showed promise when he started in a pre-season friendly against Rayo Vallecano and was an unused substitute in the Red Devils opening game of the season, a 2-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford.
