Josh Doughty has left Manchester United after just two years in the club's academy.

Canadian forward Doughty, 20, is understood to have departed last month but is still listed on the club website's Reserves section. Doughty was included in the Canada Under-20 squad earlier this week and was listed as 'unattached'.

Doughty barely figured in United's junior sides after he joined from Real Salt Lake in January 2015 and made just one substitute appearance for the U21s this term.

He was last involved in Nicky Butt's set-up for the Premier League International Cup draw with Middlesbrough in December but was an unused substitute.

Overall, Doughty started three U19 matches and one U21 fixture. His only appearance this term was as a substitute.

Doughty lined up in the same United youth team as first-team squad members Marcus Rashford and Timothy Fosu-Mensah, as well as promising local youngsters RoShaun Williams and Callum Gribbin.

United States youth international Matthew Olosunde became the second North American to join United in as many seasons when he moved to Manchester last year.
