Club career

Mellor joined Manchester United at the age of eight.[2] He made his senior debut in a Europa League match against Astana on 28 November 2019.[3] In August 2020, Mellor revealed he had suffered a serious knee injury,[4] which resulted in him being unable to play at all in the 2020–21 season.[5]

In August 2021, he moved to League Two club Salford City on loan.[2] In January 2022, Mellor was recalled early from Salford after making three substitute appearances in an injury-hit spell.[6] Later that month, United were criticised by Crawley Town manager John Yems, who claimed that a loan deal for Mellor collapsed before the transfer deadline because of paperwork issues.[7]
