Manchester United youngster Connor Stanley is celebrating making his professional debut.
Stanley signed for US side Atlanta United 2 on a loan deal at the start of April.
The team play in the second tier in America, and this loan is a good opportunity for the teenage winger.
Stanley made his debut at the weekend in a 2-2 draw and provided an assist for teammate Tyler Wolff to score.
The United youngster expressed his delight on social media at making an impact.
The next step
Stanley’s contract at Manchester United expires at the end of this current season.
The MEN report Stanley is expected to be released at the end of June.
The 19-year-old winger played only three under-23 matches for United this past season, and moving on is in his best interests.
This loan deal was effectively United giving Stanley a headstart prior to becoming a free agent.
His performance at the weekend, providing an assist on his debut, bodes well and makes it more likely he will land a professional deal.
Strong displays for Atlanta United 2 will provide a pathway for him to be promoted to the senior MLS team.
