Manchester United defender Max Taylor has signed for non-league side Stalybridge Celtic on loan until the end of the season.

He recovered from testicular cancer earlier this campaign, and even made the substitutes' bench for the Red Devils' first team's Europa League clash with Astana in November.

The move caps off a very happy day for Taylor, who is celebrating his 20th birthday.

And it will come as a valuable learning curve for the United academy graduate, as he looks to gain first team experience.

He joins United goalkeeper Alex Fojticek at Stalybridge, who also signed on loan earlier this season.
