Manchester United academy product D’Mani Mellor has confirmed he will be leaving the club at the end of the season.

Mellor failed to make a Premier League appearance for Manchester United and was sent on loan to Salford City this season to gain some valuable experience. However, his loan spell wasn’t the most successful, only making three appearances.

His time at Manchester United seems to have come to an end, with his contract expiring, and Mellor has confirmed his departure via his Instagram below.

Mellor suffered a major injury setback and missed the entire 2020/21 season due to an ACL injury, but he went on loan to Salford City earlier this season. That is where he discovered that he is not quite ready for regular football at senior level.

In the second half of the season, Mellor scored 8 goals for the U23s, but his contract will now expire.

Many Premier League academy graduates fail to make the grade at top clubs, but still go on to have successful careers lower down in the pyramid. A minor setback for Mellor, but there is no reason he can’t find a club in the lower leagues and prove himself.
