Cameron Borthwick-Jackson’s career has been left in limbo after the defender was not recalled by Manchester United from his loan spell at Wolves.

The England Under-20 defender is on loan at Molineux but has not featured since November 5, when Walter Zenga was still in charge.

He doesn’t fit into Paul Lambert’s plans and while Wolves have rotated heavily during January, Matt Doherty has played every game at left-back.

Meanwhile, Borthwick-Jackson has not been in Wanderers’ squad since being an unused substitute in the 4-4 draw with Fulham on December 10.

United had shown interest in the 19-year-old returning to Old Trafford, unhappy with his lack of action.

But Wolves, having paid for the youngster to be with them for the season back in August, were unwilling to release Borthwick-Jackson unless paid a refund on half their outlay.

United weren’t interested in paying to take back their own player however.

The two clubs have been at loggerheads regarding the player for a few months, and that played a part in Wolves missing out on goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who joined Aston Villa instead.

Now Borthwick-Jackson remains at Molineux until the end of the season, and while Wolves have a busy period coming up, he finds himself unlikely to feature. Both Doherty and left-footed centre-half Kortney Hause are ahead of him in Lambert's pecking order at full-back.
