Former Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest striker Glenn Murray has sung the praises of Manchester United midfielder James Garner.

Garner is impressing on-loan with Forest this season.

"James is a box-to-box midfielder, he is a bit of a throwback," Murray told LFCTV. "He's got a great delivery in the box, good passing range and he doesn't shirk away from the other side of it, which is the defending.

"He's a bit of a complete midfielder. I think if he was at Manchester United at the moment he might have got a sniff around the first team."

Murray added: "I am sure that next year if he is not part of the Manchester United first-team squad he will go on loan to a bigger, better team, possibly a Premier League team. It's just about him progressing for Manchester United on loan at Nottingham Forest."
