Ethan Galbraith Man Utd future under spotlight following Erik ten Hag arrival

Ethan Galbraith's future at Manchester United has come under the spotlight following Erik ten Hag's appointment as first-team manager.

The Northern Ireland midfielder spent last season on-loan with League Two side Doncaster Rovers.

Galbraith impressed during his time at the Eco-Power Stadium despite Doncaster's relegation from League One, scoring one goal in 36 appearances and grabbing four assists.

He has one year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, but is now the time for the 21-year-old to make the move and play regular first-team football elsewhere?

MEN Sport ran its eye over 17 players who are currently on loan, either domestically or overseas, and assessed what would be best for each of their careers.

Brandon Williams

Despite already boasting 50 United first-team appearances to his name, a season-long loan move elsewhere in the Premier League was in Williams' best interests this season. He has produced some good, encouraging performances for Norwich City and will return to Old Trafford having benefitted from a full season of playing regularly at the highest level.

The left-back area, just like the right side of the defence, has been a troubled area for United this season, meaning that could work to Williams' advantage. Taking that into account, plus the fact that the 21-year-old could benefit from working with Ten Hag - a manager renowned for developing youth - he could prove to be a valued squad player next term.

Verdict: Keep.

Donny van de Beek

The eyes of the world are going to be focused on Van de Beek this forthcoming summer. If Ten Hag cannot spark his United career into life, nobody ever will.
