James Garner receives first Under-21s call-up

The 20-year-old has had a busy few weeks, signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until June 2024 (with the option of an extra year) and then returning to Nottingham Forest on loan.

Garner will spend the remainder of the campaign at the City Ground, after impressing there during the latter half of last season.

And there was more good news when it emerged that Garner will be joining up with Lee Carsley's England Under-21s for their upcoming games against Romania and Kosovo.

As if that wasn't enough, the Birkenhead-born player has also been attracting praise from United's greatest-ever goalscorer, Wayne Rooney.
