“I am excited,” said Bishop. “Cambridge are a good side - you can see the group together working so hard and I am definitely excited to see what we can do.

“The club have got a great staff and great people in the building so once I got the opportunity to speak to everyone I couldn’t wait to get here.”

The 25-year-old came through the Southend United academy and went on to make 39 appearances for the first team as a teenager.

He joined Manchester United in January 2020 and helped Mansfield reach the League Two play-off final on loan the following year.

After leaving Old Trafford, Bishop joined Sunderland in August 2023 and he has also spent time on loan at Wycombe.

Cambridge boss Garry Monk said: “We are really pleased to welcome Nathan into the club. He has excellent pedigree, is hungry to do well and has an infectious character to add to the dressing room.

“He will be a great addition to the team and I look forward to working with him over the coming months.”

Bishop will wear the number 13 shirt at the U’s.
