How Man Utd's 20 loaned out players fared as Ruben Amorim faces big decisions
Manchester United sent 20 players out on loan last season and it remains to be seen what the future holds for them as Ruben Amorim looks to revamp his squad this summer Manchester United are set for a huge summer in the transfer window as they look to bounce back from their worst ever Premier League campaign. Plenty of incomings and outgoings are expected at Old Trafford, with Matheus Cunha already completing a £62.5million move from Wolves. United have also confirmed the departures of Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen after their contracts expired, while veteran defender Jonny Evans has announced his retirement. The Red Devils are also set to welcome back a number of players who spent time out on loan. A total of 20 players spent time away from the club last season and it remains to be seen what the future holds for the vast majority of them. With that in mind, Mirror Football takes a look at how they all fared... Joe Hugill The striker had two loan spells this season, starting the campaign in League One with Wigan Athletic but ending it in League Two with Carlisle United. Hugill struggled for game time at Wigan, with the 21-year-old playing a full 90 minutes in the league just twice, and returned to United after notching two league goals. He then joined Carlisle in a bid to help their relegation fight, but scored two goals in 17 league games as they finished second bottom. Hugill was a prolific goalscorer at youth level, but has yet to find his feet in senior football and another loan spell next season is likely. Tom Wooster, Elyeh Harrison and Tom Myles The three goalkeepers spent four months out on loan before being recalled early by the club. Wooster kept four clean sheets in 11 games for National League North side Farsley Celtic, while Harrison kept six in 18 for Chester. Myles, meanwhile, enjoyed his first taste of senior football with Northern Premier League side Runcorn Linnets. More loan spells next season surely beckon for all three youngsters. Radek Vitek The 21-year-old starred on loan for Austrian Bundesliga side BW Linz last season, keeping six clean sheets in 26 games as they finished in the top-six in just their second top-flight campaign. As a result of his performances, Vitek could be sold this summer with the Daily Mail reporting that a number of clubs across Europe are interested in signing the young goalkeeper. Rhys Bennett The 21-year-old impressed during his time on loan at Fleetwood, making 35 appearances as they finished 14th in League Two. Bennett has said he hopes to build on his spell at Fleetwood and move on to "bigger and better things" and perhaps a loan spell at a League One club is on the cards. Sonny Aljofree The defender made 25 appearances as he helped Accrington Stanley avoid relegation from League Two. Aljofree also signed a new three-year contract with United shortly after making the move to Accrington and he will likely spend more time out on loan next season. James Nolan The 19-year-old played 30 games for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Scottish League One last season, largely at left-back although he also featured at right-back and centre-back. It was Nolan's first taste of senior football and he is another who will likely go back out on loan. Jadon Sancho It appears as though Chelsea will not be making his loan move a permanent one this summer, with Sancho having scored three goals and provided five assists in 31 Premier League games. His time at United appears to be up, though, and the likes of Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund are said to be interested in his services. Cameron Byrne-Hughes The young goalkeeper interestingly spent time on loan with Bolton's youth team last season, but it was only a short-term switch for the 17-year-old. Byrne-Hughes has another year left on his scholarship deal and may earn a senior loan next season. Ethan Ennis The versatile forward made 15 appearances for Doncaster as they became League Two Champions last season. Ennis joined Doncaster on loan in January and was ever-present for the remainder of the campaign, having signed a new two-year deal with United last summer. Ethan Williams The teenager joined Cheltenham on loan in January and made 17 appearances as they finished 15th in League Two. Williams scored two goals and provided two assists and is another who is likely to go out on loan again next season. Antony Having failed to make much of an impact since joining United from Ajax in 2022, Antony has found some form on loan at Real Betis. Since joining the club on loan in January, he has produced seven goal contributions in 17 LaLiga games. Antony is expected to leave United permanently this summer and Betis are hoping to sign him, although the likes of Atletico Madrid and Juventus have also been credited with an interest in the winger. Jack Kingdon The 19-year-old made 16 appearances for Rochdale after joining the National League side on loan in January. However, Kingdon was unable to help them earn promotion as they were beaten in the quarter-finals of the play-offs by Southend. Ethan Wheatley The striker made just four appearances for Walsall and will be hoping for more game time if he goes out on loan again next season. Dan Gore The 20-year-old enjoyed another disappointing loan spell last season as he was limited to just three appearances at Rotherham due to a foot injury. His previous loan stint at Port Vale also hampered by injury and Gore will be desperate for an injury-free campaign next season. Marcus Rashford Another who is expected to make a permanent exit this summer, Rashford rediscovered his form after joining Aston Villa on loan having been frozen out in brutal fashion by Ruben Amorim as he criticised his attitude in training. The forward made five goal contributions in 10 league games for Villa, but looks unlikely to return after they missed out on Champions League football. Barcelona have been heavily linked with Rashford. Louis Jackson and Sam Mather The pair joined League Two side Tranmere in the January transfer window, but their game time was limited with Mather making two appearances and Jackson never making it off the bench. Tyrell Malacia United are expected to sell the full-back following his loan spell at PSV Eindhoven, which saw Malacia make eight league appearances as PSV beat Ajax to the Eredivisie title by just one point. However, reports have claimed that a return to PSV is not on the cards.

7 tips for wearing bright colours over 70
Should you wear bright, attention-grabbing clothes as you get older? Of course you should – but bear in mind that skin tone and hair colour change as we age, the same colours that suited you in your 20s might look different on you in your 70s. It may be tempting to opt for softer tones if you feel like you want to fade into the background. But that's definitely not the case for everyone, and wearing bright colours can help draw attention and lift your mood, which may be just what the doctor ordered. 'Societal norms traditionally have dictated a more muted palette for an older person, with pastels and neutral shades appealing to [them] due to their association with classic design trends,' explains Lynne Hugill, principal lecturer in fashion at Teesside University. 'But there are plenty of examples of colour being worn with confidence in the over-70s. A brighter palette for our clothing can lift our moods – confidence can be a more liberating approach to celebrate ageing rather than the societal perception of a reduced visibility as we get older.' So what's the best way to do it? 1. Bear colour psychology in mind Hugill says: 'Colour psychology suggests our preferences and emotional responses to colours change as we age. Older people may prefer warmer tones which are easier to see, and may be averse to neon or high contrast in colour due to sensitivity to brightness. 'Blues and greens can give calming and restful properties, helping with stress and anxiety, while yellows and oranges are associated with warmth and happiness, combating feelings of loneliness.' 2. Wear bright accessories Fashion expert and stylist Oriona Robb says bringing a splash of colour to your look doesn't mean you have to replace all your muted garments. 'Incorporating bright colours into your wardrobe doesn't mean overhauling your entire style. Start by introducing vibrant accessories like scarves or necklaces to add a pop of colour, and pair bright pieces with neutral tones to create a balanced look. 'Remember, the goal is to find shades that make you feel confident and comfortable, reflecting your personal style.' 3. Regularly review your wardrobe The colours and styles that suited you when you were young may not look right when you're older, Hugill points out. 'As we age, our hair colour and complexion naturally change, just as our body shape and personal style evolve over the years,' she says. 'What suited us in our youth may no longer complement our features or reflect our personality as we grow older.' Greying hair, changes in skin tone, and shifts in body proportions can influence how different colours and styles look, and she adds: 'Our lifestyle, career, and confidence levels may also impact our fashion choices. Regularly reviewing our wardrobe is essential to make sure our clothing and colour choices complement our appearance and reflect our changing identity.' 4. No more than three colours per outfit According to a new study by British clothing retailer Joules, 64% of Brits want to add more colour and pattern to their wardrobes, but more than half (58%) feel nervous about doing it, and half (50%) don't know where to start. Joules has teamed up with colour expert Charlotte Elizabeth, who advises: 'Always stick to no more than three colours when building an outfit, and as a general rule, you want to learn how to recognise cool from warm colours and don't mix them as they won't create harmony or a balanced, stylish look. 'If you're new to wearing colour, start by building your wardrobe around your core neutrals and then add a pop of colour to create a stylish look.' 5. Don't be frightened to be bright Fashion expert Fausta Urte Geigaite says that as we age our eyes may perceive colours differently, with some shades appearing more muted, while others seem to pop with unexpected intensity. 'I usually tell my affected clients this change is a big opportunity,' she says. 'Many women over 70 gravitate towards softer pastels, fearing bolder shades will appear too much. But I argue the opposite – I believe a carefully chosen bright can be incredibly empowering.' She suggests using the colours in your wardrobe as a form of visual storytelling, explaining: 'A vibrant coral or a rich teal can communicate a sense of vitality and self-assuredness, defying the often-stereotyped image of older women. 'Don't be afraid to experiment – try unexpected combinations and see what resonates. It all comes down to discovering the colours that make you feel alive and not just the ones that match a textbook definition of beauty.' 6. Consider contrast Geigaite argues that traditional skin tone 'rules' become less rigid as we mature, and points out: 'Wrinkles and age spots add texture and depth to the skin, creating a beautiful tapestry that interacts with colour in unique ways. 'Instead of focusing on matching your skin, I advise that you consider the contrast. A bold colour can create a striking contrast against silver hair or a naturally paler complexion, resulting in a look that's both sophisticated and undeniably chic.' 7. Take inspiration from colourful celebrities Hugill points out the British designer Dame Zandra Rhodes continues to wear vivid pink hair and colourful outfits, and says the late American fashion designer Iris Apfel, who died last year at the age of 102, was still a fashion icon in her 90s, famous for her bold, eclectic style featuring bright hues and statement accessories. 'It could be argued that these personalities wearing extravagant bright colours are expressing their fashion identity and making themselves stand out,' says Hugill. 'Queen Elizabeth II also frequently wore bright coats and hats, making a stylish statement while ensuring the public, no matter where they were in a crowd, could see her.' And Robb adds: 'Embracing bright colours can be both flattering and uplifting – actress Helen Mirren, for instance, has been noted for her vibrant wardrobe choices, demonstrating that bold colours can be both elegant and age-appropriate.'
