Exactly he is a very promising player who has a lot of good attributes. ETH might add something to his game, he is a keeper for me.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Disagree - as per below…
Exactly.
The experience of playing for a team in the PL week in week out will teach him loads. I’d also argue that for a club on the backfoot (like Forest will be next season), his reading and anticipation of the game will massively improve as well.
When a team is defending in a bank of 4-5-1 in their own half, how is his reading of the game going to improve massively?
I mean there is less ground to cover because there is someone next to you even if you lose your man.
Playing for United or another team who wants to dominate the midfield, requires a total different skillset because the player does not have the luxury of being protected, he will have to learn to intercept at half way line not near his box.
I don't understand why people would believe under a smart manager like ETH a Garner would have to compete with Fred and Mctominay. Yet neither of them is a natural 6. Next season their competion will in all likelyness be Van De beek and Bruno. Garner us he stays will in all likeness by direct cover for any starting DM we purchase
Playing 10-15 mins here and there across a season will do him no good.
38 games in which he starts in the PL is invaluable experience, even for a team that’s on the back foot. There’s a good chance Forest will be a surprise package next season as well.
I don't think he will be at United if he is only getting 10-15 mins here and there. If that's the case, he isn't good enough.
ETH will have to have a real look at some of these players because we need to either sell them and get money or they ready for United.
I mean we have Europa or Conference, if he cannot get a start in those games, I really question his ability to play for United.
Every youngster that ETH thinks can make it, should get there chance in that competition.
Not at all. He's far, far more talented than McTominay. With a coach like Ten Hag, he could be excellent.
Hopefully ETH will read what you wrote and get your advice.
He's a lot more talented than McTominay. McTominay was average for the youth. Garner was one of the standouts for the youth sides, and in comparison to a lot of midfielders we've had at youth level over the years.
No. Both are not known to be aggressive ball winner. It’s going to be either FDJ or James to partner another DM.

Regardless if Forest win the playoffs or not.
Starts in a big final, hopefully has a great one.
I heard he had injuries from the last game and worry he might miss this great experience. Nice to know he can play. A great experience before coming back. I have high expectations from him.
From what I've read he's had a really good season, but hasn't quite performed in the playoffs so far. Hoping he smashes it tonight
He looks like a below par McTominay. Not seen much that makes me that excited.
I love assumptions made off 30 minutes of play. He set up what should have been 1-0, though.
He’s always looking for the ball too. So not like McTominay at all.
Forest bypassing the midfield as usual. It's either knocking it around between the defenders or a hoof out wide. I'm starting to think he'd be better off sticking around next season as I don't think we'll learn much watching him with Forest if they make it to the PL.
Cracking challenge.
I love assumptions on the amount of time ive seen him that are totally wrong. Try again, son, try again
It’s quite clear you haven’t been watching him. Great ball again and 1-0.
I’ve watched a fair few Forest games this season and it’s clear that this has been a great loan move for him. He’s learned how to play professional football and physicality isn’t an issue.
I can’t help but think he needs to move to a different team regardless, though. Joe Worrall pumping it long isn’t going to be pretty in the Premier League and he could really do with seeing more of the ball.
He’s playing well today.

That was a shot.
Go on James!
It’s a fair assumption considering he’s nothing like McTominay though, it’s fair enough if you don’t think he’s good enough but they’re not similar at all.
Super ball into the box for the goal by Garner. Fair dos
Brilliant ball from Garner. Liking his performance today. His delivery is brilliant.
He strikes the ball far too clearly for that to be a shot.
Brilliant ball. Not a lot of players can hit a dangerous cross from that central a position.
He sort of just stands around a lot but he’s quite good on the ball. Seems like a guy who should play the role Kroos does with a DM behind him and a box to box player to his right above him.

Garner has better range of passing than Scott. Dont make up your mind so soon.
Yup
Really good half from Garner. Few stand-out moments - obviously the goal and a big, clean tackle in his own box. But he really is a metronome player. Seems to communicate well and move players around, and clearly likes being the quarterback.
I'm not sure how athletic he is from today, doesn't really have to move much. Am curious if he always plays on the left side of the 2 in midfield, that tends to be where Fred is for us.

You reckon? Body and head position indicates a cross.
Pretty clear you have not seen him much, not like McTominay at all. He has much better vision and passing range and passing ability. Different player.
He is and has been playing that deep lying role. Anyway his ball into the box was superb for the goal. And he is a decent cross on himIt’s a fair assumption considering he’s nothing like McTominay though, it’s fair enough if you don’t think he’s good enough but they’re not similar at all.
Getting really stuck in today! And surely that is his goal? It’s going on target.
He had a great end to the half.
Excellent tackle in his box, great ball for the goal and won 2 tackles at the halfway line that forest wasted.

Nice assist.
I thought it was a dangerous cross to be fair. He has this to his game.
whoscored just have it as an OG.
