Bolton Wanderers 'want Manchester United's Demetri Mitchell on loan'

Bolton Wanderers are reportedly keen to sign Manchester United defender Demetri Mitchell on loan.

Mitchell, 21, has been involved in United's preparations for the 2018-19 campaign, but it is understood that he is once again not in the first-team plans of Jose Mourinho.

A number of clubs are believed to be interested in signing the left-back on loan, but according to the Daily Mail, the strongest interest has arrived from Championship outfit Bolton.

Mitchell, who made his first-team debut for United during the 2016-17 season, spent the second half of last term on loan at Scottish Premiership club Hearts, where he made 11 appearances in all competitions.

Bolton opened their 2018-19 Championship campaign with an impressive 2-1 win at West Bromwich Albion last weekend.
