6 saves, 3 high claims: Man United youngster continues to build reputation whilst on loan

While Manchester United's loan players remained largely quiet during the weekend, Jayce Fitzgerald made an impact for Rotherham United in League Two. Fitzgerald entered the match for the final 32 minutes as the Millers drew 1-1 against Crewe Alexandra. Despite not making any key passes, he completed 80% of his passes, and half of his long ball attempts.

He also had one shot on goal, which went wide. Fitzgerald won two tackles and four duels, displaying his competitive spirit. Rotherham United will face Exeter City in their next match on Saturday at 15:00 BST.

Meanwhile, Safia Middleton-Patel, a Manchester United Women goalkeeper, continues to build her reputation while on loan at Watford. Since joining the club, she has been in excellent form. In their recent 2-1 defeat to Sunderland, Middleton-Patel shone by making six crucial saves, with four of them coming from inside the penalty area.

She also claimed three high balls in the penalty box, helping to alleviate pressure from her defense. While she did not need to make any run outs or win duels, her performance was undoubtedly one of her best yet. Watford will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in their next league match on Sunday at 15:00 BST.
