Nottingham Forest ‘expected’ to loan out popular Reading FC loanee

Fornah, who spent time in the Royals’ youth set-up as a youngster, played 35 times while on loan under hero Paul Ince.

Still under contract with Premier League Forest, the 22-year-old has only made four first-team appearances for the Tricky Trees.

According to Darren Witcoop of the Sunday Mirror, Fornah is joined by Jonathan Panzo, Alex Mighten and George Shelvey in being ‘expected to leave on loan.’

It is not thought that Ruben Selles and Reading will go back in for the youngster, despite being popular among supporters and stating his desire to make his temporary switch a permanent one last season.

Speaking back in February, he said: “I would love to if it was down to me,” the former Shrewsbury Town loanee said. “I’d sign now. There’s a bigger picture and it’s between the two clubs, but I do hope my future is here long-term. We will see. I’m not thinking about it now, that’s for the summer.”

Reading are yet to use any of their loan spots in the current window, despite being only limited to free agents and loan deals.

Six players were on temporary deals last season, meaning one had to sit out every week due to the five loan player per squad rule.

The media outlet wrote on its website on Friday (11 August) that the Premier League outfit want to sign Henderson, who spent last season on loan at the City Ground.

Henderson is currently the second choice at Old Trafford and it’s understood the Light Blues will not stop McCrorie from leaving.

A number of players have left Rangers this summer, with the likes of Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos, Allan McGregor and Fashion Sakala being among the noteworthy ones.

McCrorie is not likely to become the first choice and if he’s getting more wages at United, it makes sense for him to move.

It’s also a better league to play in and while he won’t really be getting too many minutes, it is an entirely different ball game in England.

Gers are looking for a seven-figure fee and United should have no problem in shelling out that kind of money to secure his services.

It remains to be seen if an official bid ends up arriving by the Premier League outfit or the other two clubs keen on signing the shot stopper.

Michael Beale will also be looking for more incomings as they need to find defensive reinforcements sooner rather than later.
