Manchester United Forward Ethan Ennis Joins Fleetwood Town on Season-Long Loan

Ethan Ennis, a 20-year-old forward who began his career in Liverpool's youth system before moving to Manchester United in 2021, has joined Fleetwood Town on a season-long loan for the 2025/26 campaign. Ennis, who has yet to make a first-team appearance for United, impressed during a loan spell at Doncaster Rovers last season, helping them achieve promotion from League Two with 15 appearances and two assists. Known for his versatility and technical skill as a winger, Ennis has scored 19 goals and provided five assists in 43 youth appearances for Manchester United. United values him highly, as indicated by their decision to decline a loan offer from Plymouth Argyle and their choice to loan him without an option to buy. This move follows the success of another United loanee, Rhys Bennett, at Fleetwood, and Ennis is expected to be eligible for Fleetwood’s upcoming Vertu Trophy match. Manchester United is actively managing its academy players' development through strategic loans, with other young talents also expected to move before the transfer deadline.
