Erik ten Hag stance on James Garner revealed as Leicester begin to target Manchester United midfielder

A report has revealed Leicester are hoping to sign James Garner from Manchester United, as well as Erik ten Hag’s plans for the midfielder.

Garner is a product of the Manchester United academy, which has a history of developing some of the best young players in England. The 21-year-old is currently in the process of gaining senior experience through loan spells.

The first of those came with Watford during the first half of the 2020-21 season. After making 21 appearances for the Hornets, Garner returned to Manchester United in the winter window.

Garner joined Championship side Nottingham Forest on loan just a day later and has been at the City Ground pretty much ever since.

So far, he has played 67 times for the Reds, registering eight goals and 10 assists in that time.

The England U21 international has become an integral part of the Forest team and is in line to start their Championship play-off final on Sunday afternoon.

Steve Cooper’s men will play Huddersfield Town at Wembley as they look to end their 22-year spell outside of the top flight.

The Daily Mirror provide an update on Garner’s situation as Forest prepare for the clash.
