Curley spent a decade in United’s academy and was named their scholar of the year last season.
Despite his progress, he never made a senior appearance for the first team at Old Trafford.
Earlier this season, he played for United’s Under-21s in a 3-2 EFL Trophy victory over Barnsley.
He also featured in seven Premier League 2 matches before making the switch to Stoke.
