Port Vale: Lloyd-Weston focused on Vale future
The 18-year-old, who has yet to make his debut in the senior ranks, had a four-day trial with the Premier League champions.
He played for United's under-18 outfit in their 2-1 defeat at Crewe, on October 10, as well as spending time working alongside United number one Edwin van der Sar and Poland international stopper Tomasz Kuszczak.
Lloyd-Weston said: "It was an unbelievable experience to be around Edwin van Der Sar and Tomasz Kuszczak.
"It was a great learning curve for me and they were really helpful. The atmosphere at United isn't too dissimilar to what it is at Vale. They all have a joke, but they get the work done and both keepers are of the highest quality."
Lloyd-Weston also trained alongside United's reserve and youth-team players, under the watchful eye of second-string coach, and ex-United striker, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and under-18s boss Paul McGuinness.
United, who boast six senior keepers, rejected the chance to extend Lloyd-Weston's trial, but the keeper still feels he gave a good account of himself.
"When Manchester United come into the frame and show interest, it's the biggest boost you can get and it was a great experience," added Lloyd-Weston.
"They demand 100 per cent, but they coach a passing game from the back. That produces stunning football that gets them results nine times out of 10.
"They saw it as a great experience for me to learn how it's done at Man United."
It was Lloyd-Weston's second trial with United, having linked up with the Old Trafford outfit two years ago prior to joining West Brom.
However, he completed his scholarship in Burslem after arriving at the end of the 2007/08 campaign.
Lloyd-Weston went on to sign a one-year professional contract in the summer.
Now he faces the challenge of forcing his way into Micky Adams's first-team plans ahead of current first-choice stopper Chris Martin and Joe Anyon.
"I work my socks off to try to get into the manager's thoughts by impressing him," added Lloyd-Weston.
"I want to show him what I can do by giving 110 per cent.
"I'm pushing Joe and Chris as much as I can to get in the manager's eyes."
