ONE AND DONE
Man Utd’s 100th Premier League scorer who netted on his only appearance wakes up unemployed aged 28
Attacker has been forced to bounce around clubs
THE MAN who became Manchester United's 100th scorer in the Premier League is now without a club.

It made him the 100th player to score in the Premier League for United – excluding own goals.
But Harrop left Old Trafford - where he came through the youth system - the same year as his one and only United goal.
He joined Preston North End, where he stayed until 2022, with loans at Ipswich and Fleetwood in between.
The attacker, 28, went on to join Northampton Town before moving to Cheltenham in January on a short-term contract.

But the EFL side - who were relegated to League Two - confirmed Harrop is one of four to leave now the season is over.
They posted online: "Jamie Pardington, Josh Harrop, Greg Sloggett and Liam Smith will also depart the club this Summer.
"Thank you lads and best of luck with what comes next!"
Harrop's career has been hampered with injuries, which have contributed to his moving between teams.
