So happy for him, there is long journey for him to get into united squad, he needs experience. But he has the natural ability so i would be glad so much if he made it at Old Trafford.

If Forest fans didn’t know what to expect from the Manchester United loanee before this match, they’ll have a great idea now.
Garner looked composed on the ball, keen to progress forward and switched the play beautifully on several occasions.
He also showed a willingness to get stuck in on his first start, taking some blows in the process, but everything about his debut suggests he’ll be a good signing.

Yeah!
Such a start is always so important for players on loan.
Garner and Carney Chukwuemeka as back up to Fred, McT and VDB would be awesome next season 
Who's VDB?Garner and Carney Chukwuemeka as back up to Fred, McT and VDB would be awesome next season
It's worth pointing out that he played well despite Forest playing horrendous, had 40% possession, one shot on goal (which they scored) and somehow won 2-1 (through an O.G).....and if that wasn't enough the field was so bad that it wouldn't have looked out of place on a 90's non-under soil heating field.
Really happy to see the club move his loan to another club if we wasnt playing. We did the same for Chong. Hope these lads continue to learn and develop.
Nice little highlight reel.
Looked good, some of the long passes was good.
Btw video quality and pitch makes it looks like a video from 90s game.
Yeah it's bloody awful, the out of sync audio makes it a classic.
I've always thought he had a fairly big head, slabhead junior maybe.Good in air? That’s surprising.
Good start!
Needs to see Mctominay's barber
Suits the video though, like a 90s player.
Always thought there was a natural synergy with Forest - Clough/Fergie, the Forest way is to play nice expansive attacking football, they also hate Liverpool.
We should have them as our unofficial loan/feeder club.

that o.g was special.There’s something aesthetically very appealing about the way he hits those cross field balls.
More like the 5th member of The Beatles
If you look at his stats for the game his defensive stats were very good. His passing stats were poor overall but the pitch was awful. At least they're playing him in his proper position.
Chukwuemeka is special I hope we get himGarner and Carney Chukwuemeka as back up to Fred, McT and VDB would be awesome next season
And the music was from a TV series from the 70s, The Rockford Files.
The actor who played Jim Rockford / the protagonist..... James Garner.
Forest under Hughton are a strict double pivot so he'll play there when selected. Issue will be that Colback & the captain Yates are due back very soon & then there's Arter, Sow & Cafu to contend with so he's one of six for two starting positions.
I'm so happy for this, well done to the lad.
Freddy Adu
should loan to League 1 first. Then championship next year like TC23
Promising debut and hopefully a sign of what's to come. His loan spell at Watford wasn't the worst, but the change of manager didn't help. Really hope he can blossom into the deep-lying playmaker we're looking for.
The pitch is awful!
But Garner seems class. In the video, don’t feel him struggling physically and have time and space always.
Played 90 mins in a 3-0 win.. any idea how he played?
I must admit, I watched it, being a Wycombe fan too, but can't say I either recognised him or saw anyone in general standing out.
Except for Murray up front.
A fair few Forest fans on their subreddit seem to think he’s been a breath of fresh air and is well above their other CMs.
Back playing his best position. Showing what he can do
One fan calling him Andrea Garner
I’m just glad he’s been playing so much since he moved there. Hopefully it continues.
