Leeds, Southampton 'keen on Man United midfielder Garner'

Leeds United and Southampton are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United midfielder James Garner during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old has been in impressive form on loan at Nottingham Forest this season, scoring three times and registering four assists in 32 appearances in all competitions.

As it stands, Garner is due to return to Old Trafford this summer, and there have been claims that he could be a part of Man United's first-team squad next term.

However, according to The Sun, Leeds and Southampton are both planning to make moves for him in the upcoming market.

The report claims that Forest are also keen on his signature on a permanent basis, but the Reds would have to be promoted to stand a chance of securing his services.

Garner, who still has more than two years left to run on his contract at Old Trafford, has made seven first-team appearances for Man United in all competitions.
