Ennis still after loan move

Manchester United youngster Ethan Ennis continued his excellent summer form by scoring the only goal in Monday's Premier League 2 victory at Middlesbrough on Monday.

Ennis also scored in a pre-season game at Rochdale at the beginning of the month, having been on target in a 1-0 win in a closed doors match at Fleetwood at the end of July.

The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Doncaster, where he made 15 appearances, mostly as a substitute.

It has been expected Ennis would get another loan move this season, although, as yet, it has not happened, with club sources saying it is proving a difficult summer to place their academy graduates.

United are also looking to secure a loan switch for Ethan Williams, who also played at Middlesbrough, while Harry Amass was not risked amid an anticipation the full-back will secure a temporary move before the deadline closes.
