Tom Thorpe is one of five players who will be released by Manchester United this summer.Goalkeeper Ben Amos, who made his debut almost seven years ago, is set to depart, as are Callum Evans and Ryan McConnell.
Midfielder Tom Cleverley will join Everton on a free transfer on July 1.Thorpe, captain of last season's title-winning Under-21 side, played just 111 first-team seconds under Louis van Gaal in the nervy 2-1 win over West Ham last year.
"I want to play first-team football, so hopefully I can look forward to some of that in the future."
Skipper of the triumphant and talented 2011 FA Youth Cup side, Thorpe is the latest of that exciting and unfulfilled crop to leave Old Trafford.
Following the U-21s' final game of the season at City last month, Thorpe admitted he was frustrated not to have played more first-team minutes.
Amos made seven appearances for United, with his only Premier League appearance coming against Stoke in 2012.
Cleverley played 79 times for The Reds and spent stints on loan at Leicester, Watford, Wigan and Aston Villa.
Neither Evans nor Irishman McConnell played for the senior side.
