DONE DEAL: Man United confirms another transfer deal worth £97m Star who Kobbie Mainoo promise to leave if he leaves
Manchester United defender Sonny Aljofree is set to join Accrington Stanley on a season-long loan.
Aljofree was identified as a youngster who would benefit from a loan away from United. Accrington finished in the bottom half of League Two last term but the fourth tier has proven to be a helpful education for a handful of United youngsters in the last few seasons.
Goalkeeper Radek Vitek signed for Accrington on a six-month loan in the January transfer window and his temporary spell away was considered a success by United. It’s hoped Aljofree’s time at the club will help his development as he looks to strive toward making a first-team debut at Old Trafford, which is his ultimate target.
Aljofree signed for Altrincham on a flexi-loan in the January window and spent a few months around the non-league side’s squad. The innovative loans allow youngsters to gain senior experience whilst remaining involved in the day-to-day environment at Carrington.
