Demetri Kareem Mitchell (born 11 January 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back or as a winger for Manchester United.

Club career

Manchester United

Mitchell started his youth career with Fletcher Moss Rangers; the same academy where teammates Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Marcus Rashford also started their careers.[5][6] He joined United in 2013, and was originally deployed as a winger for their youth teams.[4] However, after Borthwick-Jackson was loaned to Wolverhampton Wanderers for the 2016–17 season, Mitchell was converted to a left-back in his absence.[7]

Mitchell was called up to the Manchester United senior squad on 7 May 2017, training with the first team ahead of a Premier League clash with rivals Arsenal, but was not named in the 18-man matchday squad.[7][8] A week later, he was named among the substitutes in a 2–1 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur, but again did not feature.[9] He made his senior debut in the final game of the season, starting against Crystal Palace.[10] The following season, Mitchell played in thirteen Premier League 2 fixtures, before going out on loan to Hearts.[11] Mitchell returned to United for their preseason tour of America in July 2018,[12] and subsequently signed a new contract with the club until 2020.[13]

Heart of Midlothian (loan)

On 11 January 2018, Mitchell was loaned to Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) until the end of the season.[14] He joined up with the squad at their winter training camp in Valencia.[15] Mitchell made his debut[16] for Hearts on 21 January 2018, playing from the start in a 1–0 win over Edinburgh Derby rivals Hibernian at Tynecastle Park, in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, winning the man of the match award.[17] Mitchell scored the first senior goal of his career in Hearts' subsequent Scottish Cup tie, a 3–0 fifth round home win over St Johnstone.[18] In March, Mitchell returned to United for treatment[19] for an injury to his meniscus tendon[20] and was ruled out until the end of the season.[21] He had first picked up the injury during a match against Ross County in February.[22] Ultimately, he returned to training earlier than expected,[23] playing in two further matches.[24] In all, Mitchell made eleven appearances for Hearts, scoring once in all competitions.[25]

On 28 August 2018, Mitchell was once again loaned to Hearts, this time on a season long loan.[24] On his return, Mitchell stated that he felt he had "unfinished business" at Hearts due to his previous injury.[26]

International career

Mitchell has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-20 levels.[27] He was a member of the England under-17 squad which won the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship.[4]
