Career
Manchester United
Initially a forward, Tanner made seven appearances for Manchester United's under-18 team in 2015–16,[4] and joined the club as an academy scholar in July 2016. After joining the club, he found himself used more as a full-back, and made 27 appearances from left-back in 2016–17.[4] He added another 20 appearances for the under-18s in 2017–18,[4] as well as a further seven for the under-19s in the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League and one in the 2017–18 FA Youth Cup. He signed his first professional contract with the club on 30 January 2018.[5] In 2018–19, he was promoted to the under-23 side, making his debut in a 2–2 draw at Fulham on 9 August 2018.[6] He made 17 appearances in Premier League 2 that season, as well as another three in the 2018–19 UEFA Youth League.[4]
In 2019–20, after being an unused substitute for Manchester United's under-23s in a 2–0 win over Rotherham United in the EFL Trophy on 6 August 2019,[7] Tanner joined Morecambe for the remainder of the season.[8] He made his debut for Morecambe in an EFL Cup first-round game against Mansfield Town on 13 August, receiving a booking as the match finished in a 2–2 draw, Morecambe progressing on penalties.[9] He made his English Football League debut four days later, playing 63 minutes of a goalless draw with Cheltenham Town.[10] After his loan at Morecambe was cut short early, Tanner joined another League Two club on loan, this time Salford City.[11]
He was released by Manchester United at the end of the 2019–20 season.[12]
Carlisle United
On 3 August 2020 he signed for Carlisle United.[13]
