Manchester United had three players in loan action on Tuesday night in the Football League.
To find out where all of United’s loanees are plying their trade this season, click here.
Ethan Wheatley
The striker was hauled off at half-time in Bradford City’s 1-0 win over Stockport County.
Wheatley was named in the starting line-up but made little impact, picking up a yellow card in the first 45 minutes. He had one shot on goal that was not on target during the match, nor did it count as a big chance.
Wheatley also failed to complete any key passes or successfully make a dribble attempt during his limited time on the pitch.
The young striker was also poor defensively, losing out in his only tackle attempt and winning just 14% of his aerial duels.
Bradford City will be in action again this Saturday against AFC Wimbledon, and Wheatley will hope to make much more of an impact on the game.

Radek Vitek
Vitek conceded two goals as Bristol City secured a late 2-2 draw with Wrexham AFC.
He made a total of two saves, with one coming from inside the box. His other save was a fine parry to deny a long-range shot.
There was little he could do about either goal, as they were both from close range and aimed into the top of the net.
The Czech keeper completed 61% of his passing attempts. Bristol City will next be in action against Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.
Ethan Ennis
Ennis played 90 minutes of Fleetwood Town’s crucial 1-0 away win over Crewe Alexandra.
He made one key pass in the match and completed two crosses for his side.
Ennis had three shots on goal, with one hitting the target.
The winger also completed three successful dribbles as he caused the home side problems all evening. He contested an incredible 14 duels in the match but could only come out on top in four of them.
Fleetwood will be in action again this Saturday at home to Barrow.
