A former Manchester United star suffered a stunning fall from grace having previously been tipped for 'great' things by ex-Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal.
The player appeared to have a bright future ahead of him at the top level when he broke into the first team under van Gaal in the 2014-15 season.
Tyler Blackett made 11 appearances that season - as United were left thin on centre-backs following the departure of club legends Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.
According to The Daily Mirror, van Gaal said of Blackett after he made his debut for the Red Devils: 'He is another young player that has risen through the Academy system to break into the first-team squad this season'.
