MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Jack Moorhouse is returning to the club after Leyton Orient cut his loan spell short.

Former Man United academy graduate Dylan Levitt has joined the League One side so Moorhouse’s minutes would have been restricted.

Understandably, the Red Devils felt the midfielder’s progress would be better served back at Carrington and playing under Adam Lawrence in the under-21s.

Moorhouse made 20 appearances for Orient in England‘s third tier but he only completed 90 minutes twice.

The 20-year-old did register one assist in the league in addition to one goal and an assist in the EFL Trophy.

Levitt was the 231st graduate from Man United’s esteemed talent factory.

He was given his debut by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back in 2019 against Astana in the Europa League.

Since then he has forged a career in Scotland with first Dundee United and then Hibernian and returns to English football with 13 Welsh caps to his name.

He was also a part of the Wales squad that went to the 2022 World Cup.

United still has plenty of players out on loan getting experience and some first team players just seeking new opportunities.

Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana fit into that latter category, but things might change for them with Michael Carrick‘s hot start to life as United boss.

Elsewhere, Toby Collyer, Ethan Wheatley and Harry Amass are also out on loan gaining experience.
