\nManchester United are in “advanced talks” to send Rhys Bennett on loan to Stockport County for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

Pete O’Rourke (footballinsider247<\/a>) reveals a number of League Two sides have “expressed an interest” in taking the 20-year-old on loan but it appears Stockport have won the race.<\/p>\n

The club’s proximity to Manchester is likely to be an appealing factor as Bennett would be able to maintain his current living situation with Edgeley Park around a twenty-minute drive from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Bennett, a centre-back, joined United at the under-ten level and has been at the club ever since.<\/p>\n

He has made sixty-two appearances for the under-18 and under-23 sides, captaining United to FA Youth Cup success two years ago. The defender even scored in the final to help his side to victory.<\/p>\n

Bennett received a new contract with the club last summer<\/a>, alongside fellow graduate Dan Gore, who is also receiving interest across the English football league <\/a>as a prospective loanee.<\/p>\n

Though the 20-year-old is yet to make his senior debut for United, he is thought to be “highly-rated” by the coaching staff at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

This belief in the defender’s talent was illustrated in his inclusion in the match-day squad for the recent trip to the DW Stadium, where United beat Wigan Athletic two-nil in the FA Cup third round.<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag’s side will face off against Newport County in the next round of the cup – the League Two side sit currently in 17th in the table with Stockport in first place.<\/p>\n

As such, Bennett will be joining a side pushing to be champions, looking to secure a title and automatic qualification into League One.\u00a0This constitutes an ideal context for the 20-year-old to be thrust into.<\/p>\n

No academy graduate will be able to succeed at United without first being able to prove they can handle the pressure and expectation to challenge for trophies.<\/p>\n

O’Rourke reveals Old Trafford officials are “eager for [Bennett] to earn valuable senior minutes” at the League Two side which should help the centre-back take the next step in his development as a player.
