James Garner believes he could play as a number six or a number eight in Erik ten Hag's Manchester United midfield as he prepares to make his first appearance under the new manager.
The 21-year-old has missed both games on the pre-season tour so far after picking up a minor knock and he has had to watch fellow youngsters Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal both impress in games against Liverpool and Melbourne Victory. Garner is being given pre-season to stake his claim for regular involvement in Ten Hag's first-team squad, having enjoyed an outstanding season on loan at Nottingham Forest last term.
The England Under-21 international made 49 appearances in all competitions as Forest won promotion to the Premier League and with several departures in the midfield at Old Trafford this summer, he could get a chance with his parent club.
