He played CB when he was younger I believe, he's played there a few times this season and has been very good there. I think his long term future will be in midfield though, young CMs with his ability to control a game are pretty rare.Garner has apparently played at CB before? Is that true?
What's the chances of him playing the hybrid CDM/CB type role in the defensive line?
There's such a good feeling around the club now. It's incredible.
I like it. I was very glad Young scored not only for killing the game but to give us the breathing space to bring a lad on. I'm excited for Garner and happy the coaches made a bit of fuss of him as he made his bow. Also his hair's fine, it reminded me of Gary Nev at a similar age.
I actually thought the opposite. Something about his build made me think he was going to be quite slow, but I was pleasantly surprised when he seemed to have a decent turn of pace.I thought he looked very slow, hard to tell though.
He isn't very slowI thought he looked very slow, hard to tell though.
We have very few options on the bench, especially if Martial is not ready. Garner is one of those, so “some game time” he might get. But it is more likely for Gomes, Chong or Greenwood to get time as we won’t have anyone else on the bench from our attacking contingentDoes he have a chance to play some time against PSG?
It's almost certain he'll be on the bench, barring injury. If we need to replace a midfielder it'll likely be him coming on, unless we're chasing it late in the match in which case Gomes might get the nod.Does he have a chance to play some time against PSG?
Not quite the 5 years of McTominay but I’m sure he’s chuffed with 3htts://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1106594041733566472
Got new deal
Seen his name mentioned a lot on here but this is the first time I've actually seen him kick a ball other than the Palace cameo. Looks good, impressed with how he passes between the lines but you can never truly judge a midfielder from compilations, especially at youth level.
Ole said this about him ‘We've got great faith in him as the next Michael Carrick. I know he's young, I know it's not fair on kids to compare to great players like Michael was, but he's in the same mold.'What kind of a midfielder is he? Deep lying playmaker, box to box or attacking midfielder?
Not sure but he might be able to play a part depending on the team constellation. People wanted us to buy Julian Weigl and while he wasn't ready he played a part in a decent Dortmund team. PL is a different league but I think he can be involved. We certainly have space in midfield for him so he'll likely get chances anyways so we'll see.Do people think he's ready, physically, for the first team next season?
Cheers for the info. I'm just thinking in light of the hypothetical scenario Pogba and Ander won't be here next season, we're probably going to have to sign at least two new players in midfield. Not sure if Pereira can hack playing in midfield so that would be Matic, McTominay and Fred. Very thin.Not sure but he might be able to play a part depending on the team constellation.

I agree, it is very thin. He probably has to step up even if it is too early, but he is talented so it might be a good thing also you never know. Honestly I'd be exited if that were the case, but fans probably wont be patient with him if he plays a lot.Cheers for the info.

I'm the same. We're not getting close to the title next season anyway so the most enjoyable thing would be to see the most promising youth players being integrated into the team. But those young players will need us to first acquire some role models in the dressing room.I agree, it is very thin.
