Manchester United defender Rhys Bennett is to spend the 2024/25 season on loan at Fleetwood Town.

The FA Youth Cup-winning captain, who scored in the 2022 final victory against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford, has joined the League Two side for the campaign and could make his debut in Saturday's game at AFC Wimbledon.

Fleetwood also have a Carabao Cup third-round tie to look forward to, against Stoke City next month.

The centre-back is fresh from being part of the first-team squad that toured the United States and has previously had a loan spell with Stockport County.

After being on the bench four times for the senior side, the 20-year-old will hope to gain regular minutes and show his qualities for Charlie Adam's men at the Highbury Stadium.
