Man Utd set to give chance to highly-rated star who Roy Keane waxed lyrical about

Manchester United are set to hand James Garner a chance to grab a first-team role in the summer - just weeks after United icon Roy Keane raved about the promising playmaker.

Garner has thrived on loan at Nottingham Forest over the past 18 months, catching the eye during their recent FA Cup run. The Championship outfit were finally knocked out at the quarter-final stage by Liverpool last month, but they claimed the scalps of Arsenal and Leicester on their route to the final stages of football's most famous knockout competition.

The 21-year-old has also played a key role for Forest in the league, where Steve Cooper's men are currently right in the mix for promotion to the top-flight. The United academy graduate initially joined Forest on a six-month loan deal at the end of the last season before returning to the City Ground for a season-long stint in late August.
