The young Englishman was signed by Manchester United from Chelsea in summer of 2017 following a successful trial with the club a few months earlier. The defender spent some time at the Aon training complex on trial around the turn of the year and impressed sufficiently to have a chance with Manchester United.

Upon his arrival, he made 9 appearances for Man United U-18 and made himself regular for the end of the campaign 17/18. He was also included by Kieran McKenna for the Dallas Cup squad the for United States. He also started against his former club Chelsea in the national league final.

He basically plays in center-back and has good physical to win dual against attackers. He is also known for his jumping and heading.

If molded rightly, he will surely be an Old Trafford hit.
