Manchester United loanee James Garner has admitted that he is unsure as to whether there is a chance if he will make his loan move to Watford permanent or not, during a recent Q&A session with supporters of the club. 

The teenage midfielder has impressed for the Hornets since moving temporarily to Vicarage Road and certainly appears to be making the most of his first real taste of football at a professional level.

Forming a key part of Vladimir Ivic's side is no easy feat for even the more experienced of players and it appears that the youngster has had no qualms about his spell with the club so far - even going to the lengths to discuss what the future may hold for him when questioned by fans: "Obviously it depends what the future holds and I don’t know what the situation is going to be for me when I go back to United, but for the time I’ve been here so far it’s been really good.

"Hopefully we will be successful this season and then we’ll see what happens."

Garner captained Manchester United's under-23s last season and is viewed as a real prospect for the future by the hierarchy at Old Trafford.

The Verdict 

With the player's contract set to expire in 2022, this could well be a transfer saga that is very much heading towards an intriguing high point as the campaign progresses.

Realistically speaking, if Watford can achieve their aim of an instant return to the Premier League, they could well have Garner eating out of the palm of their hand come next summer.

United's summer addition of Donny van de Beek from Ajax has only added to the amount of competition for places within the club's midfield ranks, potentially blocking Garner's progress even further down the line.

It is certainly a case of watch this space from a Watford perspective as the midfielder's contract continues to tick down.
