Manchester United have seen multiple youngsters depart in recent days, but there could yet be three more loan exits.
The academy at Manchester United is having a real golden age with quite a few impressive players in the ranks at Carrington right now.
However, not every player can simply make the step from the academy to United’s first team and instead may need a loan, or to even exit the club altogether.
Will Fish and Maxi Oyedele are experiencing the latter, as the duo are closing in on permanent exits from Old Trafford. Fish looks likely to move to Cardiff and Oyedele is Legia Warsaw bound.
These permanent exits are due to follow Radek Vitek’s loan move and there are potentially another three youngsters set to be loaned out.
Manchester United aiming to loan three more youngsters
So having already sent a handful of players out this summer, both through permanent sales and loan moves it appears that United are far from done.
This is according to journalist Simon Peach who claims that following the exit of Vitek on loan, there are three more names tipped to join him.
Rhys Bennett is one, with the centre-back attracting interest from Fleetwood who are currently sixth in League Two.
Elsewhere, United are actively looking for loan moves for both Elyh Harrison and Sonny Aljofree this summer.
Harrison in particular needs a loan having impressed last month against Chester in a pre-season friendly.
Meanwhile, Aljofree turns 20 this year, so senior football is a necessity for him if he is to develop beyond his current level.
Who else needs a loan from United this summer?
While these three absolutely need to be loaned, there are countless United prospects who are good enough for regular senior minutes this coming season and could therefore be in store for a loan.
Ethan Wheatley is one we think should be heading on loan as his prospects of senior football at United look slim with both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee ahead of him in the pecking order.
Harry Amass is another who is on the cusp of first-team football, but if he is not going to get it at United this season a loan could serve him well.
Jack Fletcher, Gabriele Biancheri, Habeeb Ogunneye, Sam Murray and Ethan Ennis are also players we think have the quality right now to make an impact in senior football.
Fletcher in particular after he was impressive against Barnsley in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night, scoring a brace in a 3-2 win.
