Ineos sent clear message

Ennis was once one of the best prospects in the ranks at Carrington, only for injuries to set him back.

However, after impressing in pre-season Ennis was recently handed a new contract for United which signalled the club’s intent on using him going forward.

Now after scoring once again against senior opposition, a loan to League One or Two looks a good move in January for the Liverpudlian winger.

The 19-year-old will have made it clear to Ineos that he deserves a loan in January, something which has already been rumoured.

In this form, Ennis could be well placed to be the next United academy graduate given a debut by Erik ten Hag.
