Manchester United academy coach Paul McGuinness is happy seeing Joe Rothwell move to Blackpool.
It is Rothwell's first chance for senior action.
McGuinness told manutd.com: "I think Blackpool are getting an absolutely top-class player in Joe - if you went around the Premier League, you wouldn't find many with better skills, passing, awareness, and playing on the run. He's a very sharp and creative player. I think he'd compare to some who are playing in top teams in terms of that kind of ability.
"But he's not in those teams - he's just going out on loan to get experience now and that is what he needs. That's the thing - to put him either into our first team or into another top team, he needs more experience and to prove he can do it at that level. I am certain he has got the ability and, to also go to a team that is struggling, will do him good.
"He has always been attack-orientated but needs to show he can do the defensive side of the game as well to convince managers he can do the full job in midfield."
