Former Manchester United academy product Manni Norkett has completed a move to Nottingham Forest. The 18-year-old was released by the Reds in the summer and returns to his hometown club after more than 40 appearances for United’s academy teams.

Norkett, who initially came through Forest’s youth system, enjoyed a brief loan spell at non-league Gainsborough Trinity between December 2021 and January 2022, but failed to make a senior United debut.

He made his maiden appearance for United’s Under-21s against Sunderland in the EFL Trophy in October 2021 before netting nine times for the Under-18 Premier League last season.

He also scored against Crystal Palace in December’s FA Youth Cup win. A statement from United said: “The Academy always supports our graduates and celebrates their success after leaving the club.
