Manchester United youngster Ethan Galbraith joins Salford City on loan

Manchester United youngster Ethan Galbraith has joined Salford City on a season-long loan deal.

Galbraith spent last season on loan at League One side Doncaster Rovers where he made 33 appearances in the third tier of English football. His new club Salford are owned by former United stars Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.

Joining United in 2017 from Linfield, the 21-year-old has played international football for Northern Ireland. He is also familiar with the current manager at the Peninsula Stadium.

Last season, Salford appointed United U23 coach Neil Wood. Back in 2020 Wood said: " Ethan Galbraith is really starting to show what he’s about and put himself in that first-team picture; to train with the first team and make an impact."

The Ammies have enjoyed a positive start to the league campaign and currently find themselves 4th in the table. Galbraith will be hoping to make his debut for the club on Saturday when they host Crawley Town.
