Devonte is a tall, versatile attacking midfielder, capable of playing off either wing or in the middle. He found himself riddled with injuries for two years before an injury-free 2014/15. He made his Under-21 debut in September 2015 and has been a regular ever since - playing in a variety of roles from deep centre midfield to a striker.
Devonte joined Scunthorpe United on loan for the first half of the 2017/18 season. He returned to Manchester United in January 2018 at the end of the loan having failed to break into Scunthorpe United's team.
