The 18-year-old was out for a lot of the first half of the 2023/24 season due to an injury he sustained in pre-season. However, he has recovered strongly, bringing more flair and energy to his side’s midfield after being slotted into the first-team. The Englishman, who has earned praise for his “incredible” calmness on the ball, has made 13 appearances for United this season and is likely to feature heavily until the end of the season.
