The latest Man Utd loan round-up and news from the 10 players who have left in temporary deals.
It was another mixed weekend for the 10 players who left Manchester United on loan in the summer transfer window. United have sanctioned several loan exits so far to give players a taste of professional football and there could be a handful more in the final three weeks of the window.
Marcus Rashford made headlines on his Barcelona debut as he helped them to a 5-0 friendly win over Como, in which he also missed an open goal. While most of the headlines will be on his 'miss of the season' contender, it is worth noting he was described as 'mobile' by Mundo Deportivo, while Football Espana gave him an 8/10 for a lively performance in which he set up one of the goals.
Moving back to England, Radek Vitek enjoyed another impressive outing for Bristol City, who began their Championship campaign with a stunning 4-1 away win over Sheffield United. The 21-year-old made five stops and two high claims of the ball as he was given the Bristol City 'Pick of the Match' award on his competitive debut for the club.

"Great start to the season with an exceptional team performance and amazing fans who pushed us the whole game! Let’s keep the momentum going into the next game," he posted on social media after the match. Vitek also saved a penalty on his debut in pre-season a week earlier and will hope to keep the good run going when they host Charlton this weekend.
Dropping down to League 1, Dan Gore played over an hour as Rotherham United lost 1-0 to Stevenage FC and Jack Moorhouse came on for the final few minutes as Leyton Orient defeated Wigan 2-0 at home.
Over in League 2, Sonny Aljofree played the entire match as part of a back three in Notts County's 2-1 home defeat to Salford City and Habeeb Ogunneye came on at half-time as Newport County defeated Crawley 2-1 away from home. Joe Hugill played the entire match as Barnet lost 2-0 away at Bromley and Ethan Wheatley played the full match as Northampton Town held Bradford City to a goalless draw.
Rashford will no doubt grab most of the headlines after a high-profile home debut for Barcelona, but highly-rated youngster Vitek proved once again why it might have been a mistake to loan him out this summer when Ruben Amorim wants to sign a goalkeeper.
