Man Utd expect multiple loan departures to come

Manchester United's US tour squad has sharpened the minds of a few younger players when it comes to assessing options for next season.

Left-back Harry Amass was omitted so he could secure a loan move and a number of options have already opened up.

Midfielder Jack Moorhouse - who like Amass went on United's post-season tour of Malaysia and Hong Kong - is likely to go on loan to Leyton Orient in League One.

After his spell at Doncaster Rovers last season, 20-year-old wide player Ethan Ennis is looking at another temporary move.

And Ethan Wheatley, fresh from his goalscoring contribution to England Under-19s' European Championship campaign is another likely to be moving out, at least in the short term.

Goalkeeper Radek Vitek, a surprising omission from the US tour party, is also lined up for a loan deal.

For the latter two in particular, it will be interesting to see if United look at a permanent transfer given the Profit and Sustainability Rules benefit that would come from it.
