Harrop marked his senior debut with a goal for United against Crystal Palace on the last day of the 2016–17 Premier League season, the first of a 2–0 win.[4] His goal made him Manchester United's 100th different scorer in the Premier League.[4] After finishing the season as the under-23 side's top scorer with 10 goals, Harrop rejected a contract offer from the club in June 2017.[5]

Preston North End

Harrop returned from injury in August 2019.

Ipswich Town (loan)
