Additional Info
Bennett, Rhys Joseph Wright is the Manchester United under-18s skipper. He grew up in Denton, Manchester and joined the club at an early age.
The center-back made his U18s debut against Blackburn Rovers in the 2020/21 season opener.
During the 2021/22 season, he led United to the FA Youth Cup from the back, wearing the armband.
Bennett, who is well-adjusted, visits his old elementary school in Denton on a regular basis and relishes every opportunity to play at Old Trafford.
“Coming up through the ranks at United, obviously it’s a dream to play at Old Trafford,” he added.
“It’s an incredible feeling to step out on the field and give it our all.” It’s an incredible experience. I can’t afford to take anything for granted. You have no idea how many times you’ll walk out at Old Trafford. Every time you do, you have to embrace it, go out there and give it your all, and ideally, continue working hard to play as many games at Old Trafford as possible. I enjoy it every time I go out.”
