Manchester United youngster joins Fleetwood Town on season-long loan

League Two side Fleetwood Town have confirmed the signing of Manchester United defender Rhys Bennett on a season-long loan.

The young centre-back travelled to the United States this summer for United’s pre-season tour, and made substitute appearances against Arsenal and Liverpool.

Bennett signed a new professional contract with United last year, and he will aim to return a better player with more first-team experience under his belt.

The biggest objective for Bennett will be getting regular game time this season.

Earlier this year, Bennett joined fellow League Two side Stockport County on a six-month loan.

Bennett will wear the number 15 shirt for Fleetwood Town this season.

We would like to wish Bennett the best of luck with his loan spell at Fleetwood Town.
