Manchester United’s Professional Development Phase (PDP) group has been confirmed ahead of the 2021/22 season.

The Academy continues to prioritise individual development and players will experience a range of training and game scenarios that will provide the best platform for each of them to reach their potential.

Some members of the group are already experiencing men’s football out on loan, others will regularly train with the first-team, whilst a number of schoolboys are also likely to feature for the Under-18s at certain points during the season.

D’Mani Mellor has signed a new contract which will see him continue his time with United, having joined the club at the age of nine. Fellow forward Ethan Ennis joins the phase having begun his scholarship with the club following his departure from Liverpool.
