Ashley Fletcher, the 20 year old striker who went on loan to Barnsley in the winter transfer window has confirmed that he will be coming back to Old Trafford at the end of the season and will be vying for a first team spot.
Fletcher has been one of the many gifted youngsters at United academy and the club decided to send him on loan for further development and game time. He has won the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy and also has helped the club reach the League One play-off spot while scoring 7 goals in the process.
He has been in touch with the United under-21 manager and is looking to return and take his chance to emulate the likes of Marcus Rashford and Timothy Fosu-Mensah. While he is not completely against another loan move, he would like to have a shot at making into the first team and play in front of the Manchester United fans regularly.
