Marcus Rashford makes 'years ago' admission as Manchester United share message for James Garner

Marcus Rashford says James Garner is back where he "belongs" after winning promotion to the Premier League while on-loan with Nottingham Forest.

Garner's perfect cross just before half-time was turned into the Huddersfield net by Terriers loanee Levi Colvill in a 1-0 play-off final victory at Wembley Stadium.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed the past 18 months at the City Ground. He spent the second half of last season on loan under Chris Hughton before returning to Trentside again this season.

His impressive performances for Forest have resulted in Erik ten Hag telling the midfielder that he will be given the opportunity to stake a claim for a first-team role at parent club Manchester United this summer.

In a post shared on the Manchester United official twitter account, the Red Devils said: "The whole club is proud of you, @JGarner96."

Their post included an image of Garner with the Championship play-off trophy and winners' medal along with overlays of comments from United players.

Brandon Williams said: "You were already in the prem whether you lost or won. Come home."

England international and United striker Rashford also commented: "Yes Jimmyyyyy!! I told u years ago where u belong [sic]."
