Rhys
Bennett

The centre-back made his U18s debut in the 2020/21 season opener against Blackburn Rovers. In the 2021/22 campaign, he has worn the armband in United’s run to the FA Youth Cup, leading the side from the back. Well-grounded, Bennett regularly visits his old primary school in Denton and is relishing every opportunity to play at Old Trafford. “Coming up through the ranks at United, it’s obviously a dream to play at Old Trafford,” he said. “It’s just an amazing feeling to step out on the pitch and give it our all. It’s an unbelievable experience. I can’t take it for granted. You don’t know how many times you’re going to step out at Old Trafford. Every single time you do you’ve got to just embrace it, go and give your all and hopefully keep working hard to play as many games at Old Trafford as possible. I love it every time I step out.”
