UNITED DEFENDER POOLE AGREES LOAN MOVE
Manchester United's Regan Poole has agreed a season-long loan switch to Northampton Town.
The Welsh youngster, who represented his country at the Toulon tournament this summer, will spend the 2017/18 campaign with the League One oufit.
After signing from Newport County in 2015, the defender has performed well for United Reserves at centre-back and in a holding midfield role. He made his first-team debut as a late substitute in the 5-1 win over Midjtylland in the Europa League tie at Old Trafford in February, 2016.
The move will create a reunion with Cobblers boss Justin Edinburgh as the former Tottenham Hotspur full-back handed Poole his senior debut as a 16-year-old when the pair were together at Newport County.
"If it wasn't for Newport, I wouldn't be here [at United] now," the young centre-back told Inside United after his arrival in Manchester.
"I have a lot to thank them for and [then] manager Justin Edinburgh. I still speak to him now, he's a really nice guy, and to throw me in for that Shrewsbury away game was a massive decision for him."
Poole is looking forward to linking up with his new team-mates and the Reds will keep close tabs on his progress over the course of the campaign.
