After a difficult loan spell at Watford, the midfielder joined Forest in January 2021 and helped the Championship side avoid relegation.

He returned to the club on a season-long loan deal and is now playing under Steve Cooper, who previously managed Garner with England at Under-17 level.

The 20-year-old recently impressed in the FA Cup win over Arsenal and produced another great display in the 2-1 win over Derby, who are managed by United legend Wayne Rooney.

He showcased his impressive ability on the ball, taking 49 touches and registering two key passes during his 90 minutes on the pitch.

Garner also helped his side defensively, winning four tackles, five ground duels and three aerial duels as well as making three clearances.
