Class of ’92 relationship bearing fruit

Of course six members of the ‘Class of ’92’ are owners at Salford, and it’s not the first time United have sent a loan player there.

Last season, Di’Shon Bernard went to the League 2 club. He impressed and on the back of that, he is now in the Championship with Hull.

If Mellor can have that progression, he’ll be thrilled, especially coming from where he was with his serious injury last year.

He went straight into the Salford squad for today’s 3-0 win against Newport and came on as a substitute in second half stoppage time.
