United agree Powell deal
Manchester United is delighted to announce it
has reached agreement with Crewe Alexandra for the transfer of Nick
Powell for an undisclosed fee.
The 18-year-old England
U18 international has passed a medical and agreed a four-year contract
commencing 1 July 2012. Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted to have recruited
the youngster and told
ManUtd.com: “We have scouted
Nick for months now. He is an exceptional talent and has been schooled
well at Crewe. I’m delighted he has chosen to come to United. He has a
lot to offer and we are all looking forward to working with him."
Powell himself
is over the moon to have secured a move to Old Trafford and told us:
“It really is a dream come true to be signing for Manchester United. I
have had a great time at Crewe and I would like to thank them for
helping me to develop as a player over the past 13 years. I’m excited
about continuing my development with Sir Alex and the world-class
players in the squad. The thought of making the step up to the Premier
League next season is an exciting prospect. I can’t wait to get
started.”
