1 assist, 2 key passes: Man United academy star sparkles again in another masterclass on loan

Manchester United had only one player involved in loan action this Saturday afternoon.

Loan situation

Injuries to Jack Moorhouse and Dan Gore have derailed their loan progress.

Sekou Kone and Jacob Devaney were both gaining substantial minutes, but direct red cards have seen them suspended recently. Chido Obi has also seen his game time limited to minutes off the bench, and Altay Bayindir is yet to play for Celta Vigo.

Therefore, alongside Andre Onana, Jayce Fitzgerald has been the United loanee who has been involved the most for his loan side.

Match vs Shrewsbury Town

Fitzgerald played the entire match as his Rotherham United side played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Shrewsbury Town.

The game was also noteworthy for United fans as former player Brandon Williams came off the bench for the final 30 minutes of the game. Fitzgerald’s biggest contribution was an assist to Tom Bradshaw as the Millers equalised 2-2 despite playing with a man less.

The 19-year-old’s ball was described as “perfect” by Rotherham’s social media as he continues to impress for the League Two side.

Fitzgerald’s perfect delivery is met by Bradshaw who heads home to level this one up!

The United midfielder made two key passes in the match and completed two crosses for the home side.

He also made 74% of his passes and had one shot on goal.

Fitzgerald could not complete any dribbles or tackles for his side.

The United man made two clearances, but he could not win any duels as he was outmuscled in the centre of the park.

He will next be in action away to Swindon Town on Halloween afternoon.
