James Garner has enjoyed a resurgence during his latest loan spell away from Manchester United.
And it has now led to him earning comparisons with United royalty David Beckham.
Garner returned to Nottingham Forest in the summer, on a season-long loan, having impressed at the City Ground last term.
After a slow start, the 20-year-old has once again been winning plaudits for some impressive performances in the Forest engine room.
He was one of many who caught the eye in last Sunday's thrilling FA Cup victory over deposed holders Leicester and on Wednesday night he scored a superb goal in a 2-0 Championship win at Blackburn Rovers.
Can Garner make an impact on the Man United first team? Let us know in the comments
He now has two goals for the season and will be hopeful he can chip in with a few more as he looks to outdo last season's tally of four.
His form over the past few weeks has had the pundits purring.
On Sunday, former Arsenal man Martin Keown said Garner's parent club "need to be thinking about getting him back there quickly!".
Now, another ex-pro has likened Garner to Beckham, thanks to his dead-ball deliveries.
Trevor Sinclair, the former Manchester City and England winger, said on talkSPORT : “James Garner’s deliveries remind me of David Beckham’s.
“He’s got that dip and that whip and it causes so many problems.
"The pace on the ball, he’s putting it on a sixpence every time.
“The advantage is with the attackers because they know where he’s aiming depending on what signal he puts up.
“It’s an absolutely phenomenal cross that he’s got in the locker.”
At Ewood Park, Garner opened the scoring with a sublime piece of skill which fooled his marker before he calmly slotted home.
Brennan Johnson's penalty in stoppage time sealed a fourth league win in five for Steve Cooper's side - a result that was good enough to move Forest into the play-off places for the first time this season.
Speaking on video on Forest's official Twitter page, Garner said: "A massive thank you to the fans that travelled down this evening.
"Your support really does help. That was a massive three points. Come on you Reds!"
Cooper, whose side will face Huddersfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup, was delighted with the performance.
"Brilliant win, brilliant performance and we were very good for it I thought," he told the BBC.
"Both teams were at it first half, it was great Keinan did what he did and Jimmy with his composure for the first goal, and I thought we game-managed okay.
"Second half we could and should have run away with it really. If we showed the quality and decision-making and technique that we did for the goal in the first half then we could have scored three or four.
"I threw it on the boys yesterday that Forest hadn't beaten a side in the top three for two years and we have to start getting over those hurdles and we did today so I'm really pleased."
