Nottingham Forest's chances of striking a deal to return James Garner to the City Ground have been handed a boost after Manchester United continued their own transfer business.
Garner, 21, has spent the last year and a half at the Reds and played a key part in helping the club secure promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years. He made 69 appearances during his time in the East Midlands, scoring eight goals and registering 10 assists.
During the summer transfer window, Forest have been linked with securing the services of the midfielder for a third consecutive loan spell. United boss Erik ten Hag is yet to make a decision on his future, but the Birkenhead-born man was absent from the Red Devils' pre-season wins over Liverpool and Melbourne Victory.
