Locally born, he joined the Manchester United Academy in July 2003 and progressed through all the age groups as a Junior. He was capped by England as a Left Back at most age groups. He gained one cap at Under-Sixteen, as a Central Defender, when he played the full eighty minutes, in a 3-4 defeat by Germany at the Sudstadion, Cologne, on 13th February 2013. He gained four caps at Under-Seventeen, starting with a substitute appearance in a 1-2 defeat by Italy at the Pirelli Stadium, Burton-on-Trent when he replaced Max Lowe after nineteen minutes and played sixty-one of the eighty minutes on 1st September 2013. He went on to take his tally to four with three further games in which he played the full eighty minutes. He was at left back in all three, on 24th October 2013 at the Republican Stadium in Yerevan in a 4-0 win over Armenia, then two days later in an 8-0 win over Gibraltar at the same venue and finally on 30th January 2014 in a 1-2 defeat by Belgium at St George's Park, Burton-on-Trent. He was called up on five occasions to the England Under-Nineteen squad but on three of those occasions, he remained on the bench. However, he did play a full ninety minutes in Central Defence on his debut in a 2-2 draw with Netherlands at the Sportpark, Julianapark in Hoorn. He was again in Central Defence when he started in a UEFA Euro Group A1 Qualifier at the City Stadium Lepe, Spain on 26th March 2016 in a 1-1 draw with Greece, when he played sixty-seven minutes before being replaced by Lewis Cook. At England Under-Twenty level he was at Left Back in his only appearance, when he started at the Aggborough Stadium in Kidderminster in 4th September 2016 but was one of five Half-Time replacements when he gave way to Tafari Moore in a 1-2 defeat by Brazil. At Old Trafford, after signing professional forms in July 2013, he became elegant on the ball but a strong tackler, and could play in a couple of positions in the back four. He had also been tried in a holding role in midfield, but looked most at home as a left-footed centre-back or on the left side of defence. He had become highly thought of at the club and capped by England at schoolboy level. He was aged just sixteen when he made his Manchester United Under-Twenty-Ones debut, as an eighty-sixth minute replacement for Tom Lawrence at Bolton Wanderers on 16th September 2013. After helping keep things tight at the back for United's Under-Sixteens during the successful 2013 Milk Cup run, he scored two goals in the 2014 tournament as United retained the trophy in Northern Ireland, including the all-important winner in the final against Vendee. He pushed on during the 2014-15 season and was the leading appearance player for the Under-Eighteens with thirty-one. A regular in the defence, he added more to the attacking elements of his game but only scored once, the eventual winner in a 2-1 triumph against Blackburn Rovers. Progress was forthcoming in the following term as he played in the UEFA Youth League and for the Reserves, going from strength to strength in the words of the traing staff. His first start at the Under-Twenty-three level came at Left Back at Leicester City on 10th August 2015 and he played the full ninety minutes. By April 2018 he had started twenty-two games at that level and completed the vast majority of them, playing mostly at Left Back in the initial games but in 2018 he was used exclusively in Central Defence. On 9th February 2015 he played a full game at Left Back in the 1-3 loss at Tottenham Hotspur in the Fifth Round of the FA Youth Cup. He was also at Left Back in the UEFA Youth League and played three full games the first in a 0-3 defeat by PSV Eindhoven on 15th September 2015, then a 1-1 home draw with VfL Wolfsburg on 30th September 2015 and in a 0-0 home draw with CSKA Moscow on 3rd November 2015. He was elevated to first team level in the 2015-16 season, making his debut at Left Back as a forty-third minute replacement for the injured Matteo Darmian and played the remaining forty-seven minutes, in the 2-3 loss to VfL Wolfsberg in a Group B tie in the UEFA Champions League, on 8th December 2015.

Secondly on 17th January 2016 at Left Back in the 1-0 win at Anfield over Liverpool when he replaced the injured Ashley Young after forty-two minutes to play the remaining forty-eight minutes, and finally, on 7th May 2016 in a 1-0 win at Carrow Road over Norwich City he replaced Matteo Darmian after 16mins and played the remaininf seventy-four minutes at Left Back.

In May 2016, he signed a new contract tying him to Old Trafford until 2020, with an option to extend it a further year. He was then sent to Championship outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan to gain some experience, and he acquitted himself well in making seven appearances, all at Left Back, in the first team. He sat on the bench unused in two games, in the 2-1 home win over Cambridge United on 23rd August 2016 in the League Cup, and four days later in a 0-1 loss at Huddersfield Town in the Championship before he made his debut and played a full game in the 1-1 home draw with Burton Albion on 10th September 2016 in the Championship.

He was loaned to Leeds United on 7th August 2017, but could never break into the Leeds team and his appearances were confined almost to the Cup competitions when regulars are rested.
