Manchester United
Love, who was born in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, joined the Manchester United academy at the age of seven from local team Northwich Town. After rising through the ranks, he first signed a professional contract with Manchester United in 2013.
Loan to Wigan Athletic
On 2 October 2015, he was loaned to Wigan Athletic for two months. Love made his professional debut the following day, appearing as a 70th-minute substitute for Will Grigg in a goalless League One draw with Walsall at the DW Stadium. Love totalled eight appearances for the Latics.
Return from loan spell
After returning from his loan spell, Love made his Manchester United debut in a 2–1 defeat against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on 13 February 2016, coming on as a first-half substitute for the injured Matteo Darmian. Five days later he made his first start in an injury-stricken United team, a 2–1 loss away to FC Midtjylland in the first leg of the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League, and was booked for a challenge on Martin Pušić which caused the Austrian to be substituted.
Sunderland
On 11 August 2016, Love joined Premier League club Sunderland on a four-year deal. He joined with his Manchester United teammate Paddy McNair, for a combined fee of £5.5 million. He scored his first goal for Sunderland in an EFL Cup tie against Carlisle United on 22 August 2017.
International career
Love was born in Rochdale, England but qualifies for the Scotland national team through his Stranraer-born grandmother. He has represented Scotland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level.
