As Manchester United bid farewell to Paul Pogba, thoughts inevitably turn to who will be his long-term replacement in midfield – and they may already have the answer on their books.
James Garner will arrive back at Old Trafford this summer after completing a successful loan spell with Nottingham Forest, which ended with the academy graduate winning promotion to the Premier League. Now, the aim for the 21-year-old will be to catch the eye of Erik ten Hag this summer.
The new United boss will have a decision to make on Garner’s immediate future, and whether he will feature in his plans for next season. If not, he will likely head out on loan again, perhaps back to Forest, but either way the England Under-21 international has shown he is ready for his chance in the Premier League.
