James Garner, a product of Manchester United's youth academy, has shared an intriguing insight into his time at the club, revealing that while he trained alongside global superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, it was another teammate who left a lasting impression with his comedic timing.

Garner, who has since moved to Everton, reminisced about his days at Carrington, Manchester United's training facility. Despite the presence of Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Garner highlighted the impact of a teammate known for his sense of humor. He described this teammate as the 'joke man' of the squad, whose ability to lighten the mood and bring laughter to the training ground was unmatched.

The young midfielder's comments shed light on the often unseen side of professional football, where camaraderie and humor play significant roles in team dynamics.

Garner's anecdote not only provides a glimpse into the lighter side of life at Manchester United but also underscores the importance of a positive atmosphere within a team. As he continues his career at Everton, Garner carries with him the memories of his time at Carrington, where laughter and skill coexisted on the training pitch.
