Manchester United midfielder Fred has revealed his admiration for academy graduate James Garner.

While the likes of Brandon Williams and Mason Greenwood have earned regular minutes in the first team, Garner has been forced to bide his time.

However, despite the 19-year-old making just three starts and three substitute outings this season, Fred has said that he has high hopes for the prospect.

Speaking to Trivela, the Brazilian said: "All are very good - they are not in this profession for nothing - but the player who impresses me most is Jimmy Garner.

"Not just because he is in the same position as me, but because he is a player who has an impressive vision of the game, and he has a huge future for United.

"In addition to his impressive game vision, he always plays with his head up, has an impressive shot and is an incredible passer. He is a player that I admire a lot."

Garner has not made a senior outing for United since the middle of December.
