Man Utd's Tyler Blackett 'will grow with Blackpool'
- Published
Blackpool assistant manager Alex Rae believes Manchester United youngster Tyler Blackett will benefit greatly from his loan spell with the Seasiders.
Defender Blackett, 19, made his debut in Saturday's 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, a result that lifted Paul Ince's side up to fourth in the table.
"We asked him to play left-midfield initially and then he went to left-back," Rae told 91热爆 Radio Lancashire.
"It's a different level to what he's been used to but he'll learn and grow."
England Under-19 international Blackett, a member of the United squad that won the FA Youth Cup in 2011, is to remain at Bloomfield Road until 2 December.
He will provide cover for Jack Robinson, who was sent off against Blackburn on 26 October and served the first of a four-game ban against Forest.
Stephen Dobbie's late winner at the City Ground extended Blackpool's unbeaten run in the Championship to seven matches.
