from the youth setup straight into the first-team picture.<\/p>\n<p>Others have to go out on loan for first-team experience, or even leave United to test themselves elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Kingdon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/sam-murray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sam Murray<\/a> and James Nolan are all moving on as their contracts expire this summer.<\/p>\n<p>United have taken the decision that the trio are not at the level required to impact the first-team squad, and all three need game time away from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Left back Murray joined United from Huddersfield Town in 2017 and spent time on loan at Rochdale in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>A regular in United\u2019s Premier League 2 campaign, the 20-year-old will now move on.<\/p>\n<p>Nolan is currently on loan at Scottish side Inverness Caledonian Thistle, where he has played 30 league games this season.<\/p>\n<p><a

Erik ten Hag<\/a> but won\u2019t have his contract renewed under Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jack Kingdon exit the biggest surprise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Centre back Kingdon is possibly the biggest shock here, with the 19-year-old set to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Kingdon is currently on loan at Rochdale, where he has made 15 appearances in the National League.<\/p>\n<p>Intriguingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/academy\/man-united-academy-trio-set-to-train-with-sir-jim-ratcliffe-owned-club-after-agreement-reached\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kingdon trained with Lausanne-Sport<\/a> \u2013 another Ineos club \u2013 earlier this year, joining Habeeb Ogunneye and Ethan Williams on the trip.<\/p>\n<p><a

rel=\"noopener\">Kingdon had high hopes for pre-season at United<\/a> just last month, believing that his experience of playing in a back three at Rochdale would stand him in good stead with Amorim.<\/p>\n<p>Kingdon talked about going out on loan again if he wasn\u2019t ready for United, but will instead find himself as a free agent.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old is bound to attract interest and will hope to bounce back from United letting him go despite being a regular in the development ranks.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United academy players
