Joe is a central midfielder who's been with Manchester United since he was 6. He's a box-to-box central midfielder who seldom wastes a pass and likes to get into the final third. He's had a very successful central midfield partnership with team-mate, Ben Pearson, for both club and country. Unfortunately, injury and illness meant he missed a lot of playing time in the Academy.
Joe started the 2013/14 season fully fit and played every minute of the UEFA Youth League campaign. Opportunities in the Under-21 side were limited until 2014 due to the size of Warren Joyce's squad, however once in the team, Joe became an important player and was almost ever-present.
Towards the end of January 2015, Joe joined Blackpool on loan for the remainder of the season.
