100% aerial duels won, 6 clearances, 75% ground duels won: United loanee a monster at the back for League Two side

Manchester United loanees were again busy on Saturday afternoon despite the international break.

Rhys Bennett enjoyed another good run out for League Two side Fleetwood Town.

The 2022 Youth Cup winning captain has become one of the first names on the team sheet at Highbury Stadium.

He was given a rating of 7 in his side’s 0-0 draw with Tranmere Rovers.

The 21-year-old defender played the entire 90 minutes and made six clearances and also made a total of three tackles.

He won 100% of his aerial duels and 75% of his ground battles.

The youngster not only helped his side keep a valuable clean sheet but he was also active on the ball, as he had 60 touches and completed 71% of his passes.

Bennett also made one key pass in the match and completed his sole crossing attempt.

Ethan Williams was also in action but his Cheltenham Town side lost 0-1 at home to Milton Keynes Dons.

He was given a rating of 6.6 and played 74 minutes before being subbed off.

Williams completed nine out of his 11 passes and had two shots blocked as he went in search of a goal for his side.

The 19-year-old was wasteful from crossing positions though, as he could only complete one out of his nine attempts.

He was more effective dribbling as he was successful in two of his three attempts.

The winger also put in a good shift defensively as he won seven out of his 11 ground duels in the match.

James Nolan also started at left back in Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s 1-1 draw with Alloa Athletic.
