Manchester United have been moving players all summer.

In some cases, the departures leave with the view of one day returning, whereas the likes of Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof saw their contracts expire.

Sonny Aljofree is an example of a player who has been sent on loan, after joining League Two side Notts County until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old has come through the youth ranks at Carrington and captained their U21 side, but is yet to make a first team appearance for the Reds.

Aljofree missed the pre-season tour this summer because plans were underway for him to complete preparations at Notts County.

He spent last season on loan in the fourth tier with Accrington Stanley, where he featured 27 times in all competitions.

Now, Aljofree is hoping to gain more experience away from United to become a better senior player.

After coming through the ranks at United, Aljofree has seen some of the best players in the world training at the club.

On the recent More Than A Match podcast, Aljofree speaks about his experiences training at United and watching Cristiano Ronaldo come through recovery.

Aljofree said: “I seen it after training recovery-wise, he was still doing everything, and more than what everyone else was doing, and he was 30-something.

“Even Ronaldo as big as he is, he’s still doing everything to maximise himself. That’s really important.”

The youngster also commented on how fast first team training can be at United, adding: “Harry Maguire, he’s been really good with me. Scott McTominay was good me with as well. A lot of them really made me feel at home. Bruno. It made it feel easier to settle in with them, but when training starts… it is fast.”

When does the season start for Aljofree?

The competitive season starts this weekend for Notts County and Aljofree.

Notts County kick off League Two with a trip to Newport County.

Aljofree will be aiming to get the season underway on a positive note with a win and three points.

He will be competing in the same division as Gary Neville and David Beckham’s Salford City this season.
