I'm not James McAtee's biggest fan but I have been impressed by him at Nottingham Forest

McAtee's form under Glasner at Forest has improved markedly since his £30m arrival from City, with the manager getting the best from the midfielder despite Forest's slow start.

James McAtee's performances for Nottingham Forest have improved significantly since Oliver Glasner's arrival as manager. The 24-year-old midfielder struggled after his £30 million transfer from Manchester City last summer, raising questions about his future at the club. However, Glasner, who had previously tried to sign McAtee for Crystal Palace, has increased his role in the side and his displays are now reflecting his potential.

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Glasner is getting the best out of McAtee and his improved performances show the players are behind the manager. "McAtee has been excellent for Nottingham Forest so far this season," Brown said. "One thing it does show is that the players are behind the manager, they're playing for him and improving under him."

Despite Nottingham Forest winning just one of their first nine games across all competitions, Glasner retains the board's support. McAtee's resurgence is offering cause for optimism. The midfielder's improved form has also attracted interest from other clubs, with Manchester City believed to hold a buy-back clause valued at around £65 million.
