Ex-Man Utd midfielder Harrop released by Preston

Former Manchester United midfielder Josh Harrop is currently between clubs.

His contract at Championship side Preston was terminated by mutual consent earlier this month and, at 26, is on the hunt for a new club following a difficult few years.

United fans will remember Harrop's memorable debut in May 2017. Jose Mourinho handed the youngster a surprise start in their final Premier League game of the season against Crystal Palace and he didn't disappoint, scoring a stunning goal at Old Trafford.

Harrop joined League OneFleetwood Town on loan in January.

Harrop started just twice for Fleetwood and was subsequently transfer-listed by Preston. After failing to find a new club, his contract was terminated one year early.
