Club Career

Manchester United

Born in Heywood, Greater Manchester, Tunnicliffe was first scouted by Manchester United at the age of nine, while playing for local side Roach Dynamos. He progressed through the Manchester United academy and signed as a scholar in July 2009. He turned professional in December the same year.

Tunnicliffe was a "key performer" as the United under-18 side won the FA Youth Cup in 2011. His performances that season earned him the club's Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award.

Peterborough United (loan)

On 1 July 2011, Manchester United agreed for Tunnicliffe to spend a six-month loan spell at Peterborough United, alongside teammate Scott Wootton. He made his debut in the opening game of the season on 6 August in a 2–1 home win over Crystal Palace, coming on as a substitute for Lee Frecklington in the 87th minute. He then made his first start in a League Cup game against Stevenage and set up the opening goal for teammate David Ball.

Return to Manchester United

After returning from the loan spell at Peterborough United, Tunnicliffe was a regular in the Reserves and helped the team win two trophies at the end of the campaign, scoring his first goal for Warren Joyce's team at Chelsea.
