In a whirlwind 24 hours, Ethan Ennis left Manchester United and made a striking debut for Fleetwood Town, highlighting the excitement surrounding transfer deadline day.

While Manchester United was busy securing new talents like Senne Lammens, several players made exits, including young talents like Ennis who took the leap on loan to Fleetwood Town.

A Debut to Remember!

Just a day after sealing his loan move, Ennis jumped straight into action during the EFL Trophy match against Accrington Stanley. He didn’t just play; he shone, featuring for the entire 90 minutes and scoring a crucial goal.

In the second half, he netted the equalizer, tapping in a rebound after a teammate’s shot was parried by the goalkeeper, displaying impeccable timing and determination to beat two defenders to the ball.

Signs of Great Things to Come

Ennis’s impressive performance was hardly unexpected. Before his loan, he dazzled for Manchester United’s under-21s, scoring twice in as many games—so it was clear he was ready to make an impact.

Even though Ennis faced a setback when his penalty was saved during the shootout, it didn’t dampen Fleetwood’s spirits, as they triumphed 5-4 after sudden death penalties.

Familiar Faces on the Field

The match had a compelling twist: Ennis faced off against two former Manchester United players. Logan Pye, who previously joined United's academy in 2020 and is now on loan with Accrington from Burnley, assisted on his team's opening goal.

Alongside him was Donald Love, now 30, who made his debut for United under the management of Louis van Gaal. Their presence only added to the drama and excitement of the match.

Ethan Ennis's debut was more than just a personal success; it was a statement that he is ready to make his mark in professional football.
