Manchester United may have found another first-team winger after signing him from Liverpool

Manchester United have a youngster in the academy who you probably haven't heard about, but who has made a superb start to the season and could push for his first-team debut.

His name is Ethan Ennis. The winger has looked hell-bent on making up for lost time after recovering from a serious knee injury and he's doing everything right when he plays. Ennis started on the right for United's U21s in their penalty shoot out win over Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night and made an instant impression.

The 19-year-old fizzed a cross into the box but nobody was there to convert. It didn't take long for him to create another chance, this time converted by Sam Mather to give United an early 1-0 lead.

Ennis' first touch to beat his man on the touchline was superb. He cut inside from the right and darted toward the opposition box where, perhaps most impressively, he picked the right pass when finding Mather who finished brilliantly into the bottom right corner. The pocket of away supporters who made the journey burst into celebration and Doncaster's players trudged back for the restart, looking shocked by the two moments of quality that created the goal.

It was a big deal when United signed Ennis from Liverpool in August 2021. He scored 10 goals in 19 appearances for United's Under-18s in 2021/22, his first full season at the club, but disaster struck a year later when he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

He is making up for lost time and his work out of possession is improving, highlighted by his diligent tracking back to tackle Doncaster's Jack Senior at the end
