Garner isn't lightweight he is just a bit gangly but that's down to his age.
Garner puts it about and is taller than he looks.

Mixed reviews from Man U fans, some think he showed a bit as a defensive midfielder and covered the ground well.
It'll be interesting to see if ETH blames the subs for letting Villa equalise late.
I think Garner will stay at Man U unless they sign a couple of mids in the next week.

Half of them are from Africa and have never watched a live game with him playing and the other half still expect them to beat everyone 10-0 with a world 11.
Very few objective Man Utd fans anymore.

It’s the poor guys first minutes for them, what do they expect?.
They are such cockwomles-they love all this “one of our own” shit but have the patience of a gnat with developing young players. It really is a plastic club now.

Watching the Berlin game. I can definitely see a Yates and Garner shaped hole in our squad. The fact that Garner can cover the No 10 role (in my opinion better than Brennan does) and we only have Lingard as a 10 then he would be worth breaking the bank for. Offer United £30million and get it done.

£30m seems excessive, could probably get it done for half that if they are going to sell him.
But I do agree, it's a no brainer. I think Garner is really very happy here as well.

I was exaggerating the number but just offer them what they want with a decent sell on for them or even a buyback.

I'm doubtful that we'll be in for him this transfer window but reckon if he doesn't get game time then, depending on how things are going for us, we could try and take him on a perm in January. I don't think we'd need to splash out £lots if he's not in Ten Hag's plans.

I don't agree we should be "breaking the bank" for a young lad whose never played in the prem, and that thus far failed to make any impact as his parent club. Truth is that if he doesn't get to play football there he will want out and if his desire is to return to Forest I would think a deal can and will be worked out but 30M is not realistic-I think 10M is a fair price for him.
Collymore!
Thankyou Steve!
Would be a great signing, Garner and O'Brien competing for the one position though...

With the amount of ground our 2 man midfield has to cover I don't think any of our CM players will complain about a 3 man rotation. Especially with 5 subs available I doubt you'll often see the same 2 midfielders finish the games they start
Also worth remembering that we have to be prepared to work around inevitable injuries, as things stand we're far too light weight in CM which i'm sure we'll address. Ideally by signing Garner
I think maintaining the Yatesy and Jimmy midfield partnership that they've developed is massively important, there's only so much gelling you can do with 2 weeks to go to the start of the season. Central midfield will be a key area next season so maintaining some familiarity there will help us a lot, especially through the start of the season

Precisely. The way you play you need two always switched on, tireless, working both defensively and upfront midfielders. In order to have that you need at least three first class midfielders, especially since in some difficult matches you will need a midfield of three.

Grenville Morris
We may even see 3 midfielders if we are struggling to get a toe hold in games with 2-so theres plenty of space for CM's in our squad currently!

If United aren't prepared to play him this season they should sell him to us, possibly with some kind of buy back clause, so he can continue his development. 
Realistically that would make sense for them, a 10million fee on a 3 year contract with something like a 50 per cent of value buy back clause. The quality in the top 6 has pushed on from when fergie introduced Scholes and beckham, they can't afford to make any mistakesIf United aren't prepared to play him this season they should sell him to us, possibly with some kind of buy back clause, so he can continue his development.

It would make sense for him too. He seemed happy here and would stand a much better chance of first team football than there.

Well they can afford mistakes and I’d argue that unless you are prepared to take a few risks they will never get back to the top.
Not that I give a shit about them
I'd assume man united aim is to win the league, City and Liverpool have got 90 plus points for the last few years. Fergie would have struggled there was not many seasons during his reign when they were that dominant that they got 90 plus points. They can afford to keep him on the bench like lingard and to use him as a bit part player but doubt they will start him. It's up garner does he want to sit on the bench or start every game
I think the importance of Garner and Yates managing the majority of last season as the 2 CMs chasing the whole game without picking up a knock or strain is often overlooked by fans. Especially during the last stretch where the games were thick and fast and they'd both last 90 minutes.
Whilst there are fewer Prem games, the intensity will be greater and the opposition will be better at evading our press. If we're not getting anymore CMs in, then I hope we're just as lucky with injuries.
With 5 subs this season that means we can swap out our two CMs for free and carry on our energy in that position. Having a quad of Yates, Garner, O'Brien and 1 other would mean we could harry the opposition relentlessly for the whole game.
I think we'll get him late on in the window.

The 21-year-old returned to Old Trafford this summer after an unforgettable season with Nottingham Forest, where he became a fan favourite as they won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.
"I had a really good season last season - full of confidence, full of experience," the academy graduate told the PA news agency. "The experience I didn't have, I feel that now I do have.
"I played in some big pressure games and I just think it's a new and improved me. It was almost as perfect a loan experience that I could possibly have had.
"I played pretty much every single game, played well and ended up winning promotion. For me, it's probably the perfect loan.
"However, for me now because I've played two seasons back-to-back, where I've been playing games non-stop, I don't really want to stop that.
"I want to play week in, week out. That is of course what I want to do.
"I'm not too sure but pre-season has been good so far and, like I said, hopefully in the next two, three weeks - we've still got games left - I can show what I can do."
Garner made his first appearance of the tour as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa in Perth.
"I want to play for United," Garner said. "Of course that's obviously my aim.

But I have read that a 'loan with an obligation to buy' is still permissable by PL rules even though we are loaning Dean Henderson from Man U.

Garner on loan makes no sense for you anymore. If he's not interested to leave ManU permanently, move on.
Hate to say it, but yes.

He's a smart player but I get the impression he's not that actual smarts... Perhaps he does want to come back on loan but doesn't realise that the rules don't allow him to (without the buy option) whilst we also have Henderson there?
What makes sense at this stage is probably a cheaper fee with a buy back clause for Utd in a year or two if it was needed. Though I really don't think he's close enough to their first team picture for this season so he'll either need to be loaned out or sold.
I think clubs are likewise restricted to how many they can loan to another PL side so Man U may feel that they don't want to use another slot loaning Garner somewhere in the PL whilst they have already loaned out Henderson to us too, and would be more keen to sell.
