Winger leaves Old Trafford
Manchester United have announced that Ethan Ennis is to join League Two side Stockport County on a permanent basis.
The 21-year-old joined the Cheshire club on an undisclosed fee. It is believed that the deal includes a 50% sell on fee, a buy-back option and matching rights for future transfers.
Stockport finished third last season and were losing finalists in the play-offs. They will be looking to reach the Championship for the first time since 2001/02.
The winger joined us from Liverpool’s academy in 2021 after he turned down the choice of a new contract there. This made him the first player in 57 years to move between both clubs. He was part of the FA Youth Cup winning side the following season. Having signed a professional contract, and moving up to the under-21’s, it was expected that he would have a bright future at the club. A succession of injuries halted that development thought.
His first taste of first team football came when he joined Doncaster Rovers in January 2025. He registered 17 appearances and notched up two assists as they won the title on the last day of the season. Last season he joined Fleetwood Town on loan. He impressed in his time there winning the Sponsors Player of the Season. A brace against Luton in the FA Cup stood out. He clocked up 46 appearances, with six goals and eight assists.
Head Coach Jimmy McNulty added: “Ethan has had a unique education as a footballer, having been developed by two of the biggest and most successful clubs in the country. As a result, he is a player who has all the attributes to succeed at this level and higher over the next few years of his career.
“His versatility will provide us with great options out wide and in central attacking areas, he is comfortable playing on either side and his pace and ability on the ball is something I think will really excite supporters when they see him in action.”
He is expected to be part of the squad to take on Blackpool. He has signed a three year contract.
We wish him all the very best
