Manchester United has confirmed that defender Rhys Bennett has officially joined Fleetwood Town on a permanent deal.
The 22-year-old returns to the League Two side following a successful loan spell last season where he featured in 35 matches.
A product of the United academy since age nine, Bennett famously captained the 2022 FA Youth Cup-winning squad.
In a farewell statement, the club praised his professionalism and wished him luck, noting they would be “watching his career with keen eyes.”The news arrives just before United’s Sunday fixture against Fulham.
