Manchester United have sent three of their youth players to non-league games.

The Red Devils are setting up a loan scheme to get their players more game time at senior level.

Sonny Aljofree, Joe Hugill and Maxi Oyedele are all leaving for Altrincham FC.

The trio will play with the non-league club for the rest of the season.

They will also train with United's youth squads, while also playing games for Altrincham.

The idea is to ensure the players are still a part of the United environment, while giving them exposure to other clubs and settings.
