Manchester United fans send James Garner message as midfielder stars for Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest's on-loan star James Garner has been sent a clear message by Manchester United fans over his future at Old Trafford.

The 20-year-old - who is on-loan at Forest for a second season - has been enjoying a positive run of form under Steve Cooper since the turn of the year and has played a key part in Forest's rise up the Championship standings.

Garner was one of the top performers in the Reds' 2-0 win over Bristol City on Saturday (February 26) and capped off an excellent showing with his third goal of the season. He has also provided two assists this term.

His impressive displays in central midfield have not only helped Forest up the league table but also assisted the Reds in causing FA Cup upsets over Arsenal and Leicester City.

So it comes as no surprise that Manchester United fans are beginning to take notice of the midfielder's run of form. This is what some Red Devils fans said about the 20-year-old on social media...

whayyy at least 1 united player scored today

Can he play striker for United?

Of course you can score Jimmy

All our best players on loan

And this lad should be in the @ManUtd first team squad next season

Can he run back to Old Trafford and score one for us?

Another top performance from James Garner, could be the midfielder we’ve been crying out for

Garner has been so good this season at Nottingham. He has to be playing in the Premier League next season whether it's at United or somewhere else. Maybe Forest can sneak in to the play-offs

Jimmy Garner scores again!
