McMillan also played a role in United's FA Youth Cup and EFL Trophy ties earlier in the campaign.

The 18-year-old, though, has left West Yorkshire with immediate effect and put pen-to-paper on a deal with Fleetwood until the end of the 2022/23 season.

He will immediately link up with the Cod Army's development squad, where former Leeds full-back Stephen Crainey is currently in charge.
