After winger Tassi Chung returned to Manchester United after undergoing thigh tendon repair surgery, there are still 13 Red Devils youngsters on loan. The success of a rental depends on a number of factors. A successful loan experience doesn't depend on a string of goals or good performances in certain games, but on being able to gain enough experience through the game. These experiences include living away from home, honing under different coaching styles, playing football under different pressures, and more.
Next, let's review some of the successful loan cases in Manchester United's history:
Early in his career, David Beckham gained valuable experiences in the harsh environment of Preston.
"I was shocked," Beckham recalled when he learned in January 1995 that he was going to Dieppdale Stadium for a month, "I thought it was a sign that the club wanted to give up a player. He quickly changed his mind. The young Beckham was given set-pieces when he arrived at Preston, scoring straight from a corner in his debut and then a free-kick in the following home game.
In five games against Preston, David Beckham has shown great efficiency on the pitch. After the one-month loan period expired, he plucked up the courage to offer Lord Fong that he could extend the loan period until the end of the season. The Lord flatly refused his request, but also underscored his plans for the future of the young Beckham.
After entering the first team, Kieran Richardson found himself in the same position as Ryan Giggs, so he decided to join West Brom on loan, who was at the bottom of the Premier League at the time and desperately needed the creativity of the midfield. After more than a dozen games, the 20-year-old became the darling of hawthorn stadiums.
During that time, Richardson scored three goals, including West Brom's crucial second goal in the final round of the league against Portsmouth at Hawthorn Stadium, a victory that also made West Brom the only team in Premier League history to finish relegated at the bottom of the league before the start of the final round of the league.
Later, speaking about the loan experience, Richardson said: "I left Manchester United as a fringe player and came back as an England international. It's a good thing to rent it out, to gain experience and show what you're capable of, and I'm a testament to that. ”
Goalkeeper Ben Foster caught the attention of Sir Verde during his loan for Wrexham from Stoke City, and united signed him before spending two more seasons on loan at Watford. He had an excellent season on Watford's journey to the Premier League, and his excellent play at Hornets also earned him the opportunity to make his debut for England.
"It was great to play under Roy Keane, I loved it. He has very high demands on the players under his hands, but I'm used to it. It was a really great time in my career. ”
At the end of 2006, under the impetus of Keane, Northern Ireland defender Evans joined Sunderland on loan and quickly became one of the team's defensive cores. Along with Red Devils youngster Danny Simpson, who joined a few weeks later, he played an important role in the Black Cat's promotion to the Premier League.
Nominated as the club's Young Player of the Year, Evans was popular at the Stadium of Lights, where Keane struggled to facilitate his second loan spell for Sunderland in 2007/08. The deal was made in the second half of the season and he played well again to help Sunderland succeed in relegation. The following season, Evans made it a natural fit for Sir Verde's first-team squad.
After several previous loan spells, Dean Henderson competed with David De Gea for the main goalkeeper position last season. He won the Golden Glove in the Championship and helped Sheffield United advance to the Premier League, where he has also played well in the Premier League ever since.
Looking back, Henderson sees his 2017/18 season at Shrewsbury as a watershed moment: "It was a big year for me. I learned a lot and grew into a man because you have to learn both on and off the pitch. You're surrounded by adult players and you have to win. You have to get a win bonus because you have to pay the bills, and that's the bottom line. That was the moment when I really grew from a boy to a man. ”
Early in his career, Jesse Lingard had valuable experience on loan with Leicester City, Birmingham (four goals in his debut), Brighton and Derby County.
Earlier this year, struggling to win his place at Old Trafford, Jesse Lingard came to West Ham on loan and then scored nine goals and four assists in 16 games to win the call to england.
'It was a reboot for me and with back-to-back play I regained my confidence and it was the best half season I've ever experienced.' Now back at Manchester United and uprooting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils, Jesse Lingard has shown that it is never too late to benefit from a successful loan experience.
Similar to Jesse Lingard's rise to the Hammers, Diogo Dalot played on loan at AC Milan last season, where he rekindled his Red Devils career. After helping the Rossoneri win the league runner-up and advance to the Europa League knockout rounds, he returned to Manchester United this season.
"I think confidence and game time are very important. I feel energized, healthy and more mature. I'm ready to prove my abilities to everyone. I think I learned a lot and were able to help me succeed this year. ”
