Jesse Lingard and Anthony Elanga have led the response to Manchester United striker D'Mani Mellor confirming his departure from the club. Before the retained list has risen to the surface, the 21-year-old announced that he is set to leave in a classy message posted on his Instagram page.
Mellor progressed through the famed Old Trafford system and made his first-team debut in a Europa League match against FC Astana last campaign. It remained his only senior outing.
However, the frontman - who has returned to fitness after a serious ACL injury - was an influential figure within the United Academy teams and played three times on loan for Class of 92-owned Salford City earlier this season. Mellor is now gearing up for a new permanent challenge.
