United signed Cameron from Liverpool for an undisclosed fee on a three-and-a-half-year deal on 11 January 2018. The midfielder had been at Anfield since the age of five and made three senior appearances for the Reds, as well as representing England at both U18 and U20 levels. 

He had a loan spell at Fleetwood Town in 2016/17, helping them to the League One play-offs. Cameron won the Players’ Player of the Year award for 2018/19 and at the end of the 2020/21 season signed a new contract to keep him with the U’s until 2023.

Cam then signed a new long-term contract with the club in the summer of 2024 following the Club getting promoted back into the Championship for the first time in 25 years.

The 28-year-old has played 290 times for United and last season he finally helped lead the team get back to the second tier for the first time in a quarter of a century. 

Brannagan has also scored 51 times for United, and last season he bagged 13 crucial goals in the league and play-offs.
