Manchester United opted to send a host of their young stars out on loan as Erik ten Hag gets to grip with his options at Old Trafford.
His predecessors Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick chose to give youth a regular opportunity, handing several players their debuts. Ten Hag meanwhile are largely chosen to work with established members of the squad, although Alejandro Garnacho has been one of the season's success stories.
The likes of Hannibal Mejbri, Shola Shoretire and Ethan Laird - all given their first minutes for the club in recent times - have been sent out on loan further down the football pyramid to gain regular minutes.
