The goalkeeper was joined by Nick Cox, the Director of United’s Academy, at the annoucement with the club congratulating Mee on the new deal. 

Having joined the ranks at Carrington in 2019 from Walsall, Mee has played a number of times for both the U-18 and the Premier League 2 teams.

He’s also experienced a wide range of loans, having joined Altrincham on an emergency loan earlier in the year. He made four appearances for the National League side.

Mee has also spent time at Fulham Academy, Trafford FC, Runcorn Linnets and Witton Albion. He also did a work experience loan with AFC Wimbledon.

The 20-year old has represented Northern Ireland at different levels of the youth set-up, having played for the U-17, U-19 and U-21 sides.

The goalkeeper recently received his first taste of first team football at United, having travelled with the young squad to San Diego to take part in the summer camp and pre-season match against AFC Wrexham.

Though Mee did not take part in the actual friendly, it will have been a formative experience taking part in a match against a senior side in front of a sold-out stadium. The Snapdragon Stadium holds a maximum capacity of nearly 35,000.

There has been a significant overhaul at Old Trafford this summer in the goalkeeping department.

David De Gea, Matěj Kovář and Nathan Bishop have already departed the club, with potential deals for Dean Henderson and Radek Vítek nearing completion as well.

Only Andre Onana has, so far, arrived in their places. A deal for Fenerbache goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is reportedly close to completion, further buttressing the position.

It still leaves a lot of space for access to the first-team however. This is something Mee appears to be banking on by committing his long-term future to the club.

The move came at the last minute and was officially announced just hours before making his debut for his new club against Maidenhead United.

The 19 year old is no stranger to short term emergency loans having gone on three last season to non-league outfits Trafford, Runcorn Linnets and Witton Albion.

United have revealed that the deal will see the young keeper still “regularly train with United under the terms of the agreement and can also represent Academy age-group sides in Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy.”

In desperate need of a keeper, Altrincham made a quick move to bring in Mee after their two senior keepers were ruled unavailable.

Matt Gould was sidelined after suffering a concussion on the weekend.

Meanwhile, Altrincham’s summer signing, former United academy graduate Ollie Byrne, awaits international clearances after his move from Welsh club Connah’s Quay.

Having featured in the u21s’ pre-season friendly against Altrincham, the National League club seemingly were impressed with what they saw in Mee.

As a result of the last minute move, the keeper was immediately thrown into the action last night as he conceded two in a 2-0 loss to Maidenhead United.

It is unknown if Mee will still be utilised by Altrincham after the return of Gould and Byrne, which explains the agreement that he will still train and play with United’s u21s.

Having joined Manchester United in 2015 from Walsall, Mee has come through the ranks and already featured for the u21s twice this season with disappointing performances against Arsenal and Crystal Palace.

An under 19 international for Northern Ireland, the young keeper regularly spent time away from the club in addition to his non-league loans, with a work experience loan with AFC Wimbledon and a youth loan to Fulham’s u18s to get playing time.
