'Our Paul Pogba replacement' - Manchester United fans make James Garner prediction

Manchester United fans are predicting a huge future for loanee James Garner.

The midfielder has been one of the standout performers at Nottingham Forest in his second loan stint at the City Ground. Since the arrival of Steve Cooper, Forest have climbed up the Championship table and as Garner flourishes, so does his partnership in the middle of the pitch with Ryan Yates.

The Telegraph have reported that Garner will be given a chance to impress the incoming manager at Old Trafford during pre-season. With World Cup winner Paul Pogba looking set to leave at the end of the campaign, the door could be open for Garner to make waves in the United first team.

United's midfield department has been heavily criticised this season as they struggle to secure Champions League football for next season.

With an opportunity potentially within reach for Garner, fans have made their thoughts known. Here's how they reacted on Twitter.
