How likely is a move?

However, to pry such a talent from Manchester will be difficult until after pre-season, where Erik Ten Hag will form his opinion on whether the player has the potential to perform in his system. I for one hope Ten Hag does not like the loan star.

A pacy, creative, progressive, and all-round modern midfielder is a hard one to lose or to keep. Garner will be ambitious enough in wanting to progress his career beyond lower league teams, is good enough to play as backup in Manchester, but could not be a starter for the historic club.

Therefore, a move to a more accommodating side still in the upper half of the Premier League could be beneficial for the player. It could certainly be good for Leicester City, as a comparison between him and either Hamza Choudhury or Papy Mendy reveals his superiority as a target.

I would expect a fee of around £15m for him should the new United boss choose to move the midfielder on. We would also expect great competition from Forest who would want to keep such an important talent. Let Foxes of Leicester know your verdict via our social media channels.
