Man United loanees report: Wondekid named in TOTW, Rashford’s spectacular strike attempt fails
Several Manchester United loanees were in action over the weekend. Read on as we look at their performances.
Marcus Rashford
The English forward came on as a substitute in Barcelona’s 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano on Sunday evening. He attempted to score a stunning goal late on, but it went wide.
Radek Vitek
The 21-year-old goalkeeper continued his brilliant form for Bristol City, starring in their 4–2 win over Hull City on Saturday.
He made a brilliant save to deny Oli McBurnie from scoring, drawing a ‘frankly ridiculous’ praise from Bristol’s X account and was subsequently named in the Championship Team of the Week.
Elyh Harrison
Harrison kept his first clean sheet for Shrewsbury Town as Accrington Stanley held them to a goalless draw at home.
The 19-year-old could have conceded a goal late on, but made an excellent save to prevent a deflected cross from breaching his goal.
Ethan Wheatley
After scoring his first goal in the colours of Northampton Town last week, he retained his spot in the starting line-up as they recorded their second win in League Two, winning 1-0 at Leyton Orient.
Wheatley thought he had scored when he put the ball into the net after a scramble in the box in the first half, only for the goal to be ruled out for a foul.
Habeeb Ogunneye
The young right-back made his fourth consecutive start for League Two side Newport County as they lost 2-0 at Cambridge United on Saturday.
Despite the defeat, Ogunneye played well in the clash, winning all his ground duels and losing just one of his aerial duels.
Sonny Aljofree
The 20-year-old centre-back played 90 minutes for League Two outfit Notts County as they recorded their second league win of the campaign, winning 2-1 at Tranmere Rovers.
