Ethan became United\u2019s landmark 250th Academy graduate after earning his senior debut last April in a home Premier League match against Sheffield United. He has made a further three first-team appearances since.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wheatley\u2019s Old Trafford bow came after a successful few months with the club\u2019s Under-18s, who lifted three trophies in as many weeks last spring. Ethan scored a double in the U18 Premier League Cup Final, eight goals in seven games in the league campaign at that age group, and the opening goal of the national league final at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Those performances and his strong development earned him the prestigious Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award. His overall league record at Under-21s level across the last 18 months is 10 goals in 18 games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ethan joins Walsall shortly after his 19th birthday, seeking to build on first-team experience at United with another club. Mat Sadler\u2019s team has a 12-point lead at the top of the League Two table and a game in hand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ethan\u2019s departure is not the only one expected to take place at Old Trafford this weekend with photos of forward Antony, who has travelled to Spain, circulating on social media ahead of his reported move to Real Betis on loan until the end of the season. United sources confirm the deal is covering a minimum of 84% of his wages, which are over 1,00,000 pound per week. He remains under contract at United until 2027.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
