Manchester United have a rich tradition of loaning out their brightest young talents and Jack Moorhouse is the latest to follow that path in pursuit of first-team football.
According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Moorhouse has put pen to paper on a new deal with United and is now set to join Leyton Orient on a season-long loan.
The decision has been made after he attracted loan interest from several clubs.
Moorhouse is one of the most promising midfielders at the youth level, and sending him on loan to a League One side shows that United want him to earn regular minutes with the first team.
Leyton Orient will be chasing promotion in the forthcoming season after losing in the League One playoff final last term.
The 19-year-old is considered one of the best ball-carrying midfielders at the academy and is tipped for stardom at Old Trafford.
He made his debut for United’s Under-18s team at the age of 15.
Manager Ruben Amorim also rates the starlet highly and included him in a few matchday squads last campaign.
Primarily deployed as a number 10 for the U21s, Moorhouse is also comfortable operating in a box-to-box role.
Many also compare him to elite midfielders like Paul Pogba and Morgan Rogers.
The Red Devils will be closely monitoring his progress, hoping the loan spell serves as a springboard for a future first-team breakthrough under Amorim.
Dan Gore, Sonny Aljofree, Joe Hugill, Elyh Harrison, and Radek Vitek have already secured loan transfers over the last few weeks.
Ethan Wheatley and Ethan Williams are expected to be the next starlets heading out on loan in search of valuable first team experience.
