But his situation didn’t change. By 2019, he was released without making a senior appearance. He moved to Italy and signed for Spezia. With the club pushing for promotion, opportunities were limited and he was sent on loan to Pergolettese.

Then one day at Carrington, José Mourinho walked over to him during lunch and asked why he wasn’t playing. He told him he didn’t know. Mourinho couldn’t understand it either but he brought him in to train with the first team and promised to look into it.

But afterwards, Buffonge received a dressing down from the coaching staff. Soon after, he found himself out of the team. He kept asking questions and he felt nobody gave him a proper answer.

He was also fined for getting a tattoo. Then came another moment that left him confused. During an Under-23 game, he won a penalty and decided to take it himself and he scored. Angel Gomes, the designated penalty taker, had no issue with it.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or take it seriously. He was a teenager trying to make sense of an environment where every comment felt important. He even went home and asked his mum whether he should cut it which he later did but nothing changed.

Whenever he asked what he needed to do to get back into the team, he felt he never got a clear answer. At one point, he recalled the academy coach jokingly said that José Mourinho wouldn’t give him a first-team debut until he cut his hair.

But things weren’t that straightforward. After impressing for United’s Under-18s, he was moved into the Under-23s. But he wasn’t given enough playing time. He later spoke about feeling starved of opportunities to play.

His former teammate Demetri Mitchell later said Buffonge was often the best player in training. As a teenager, he found himself training with Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata. From the outside, it looked like he was already there.

DJ Buffonge was one of the most highly rated young players at Manchester United. He had already been through Arsenal and Fulham before earning a move to Old Trafford in 2015. People at the club rated him highly. Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, and Paul McGuinness believed in him.
