Manchester United have now stated that midfielder Paul Digby is on a trial with the Red Devils, ahead of a transfer from his current club Barnsley. It was being speculated that the 20-year-old would be moving to Old Trafford, who had an impressive nine first-team appearances for Barnsley in League One during the course of the previous term, due to which he is seen as a star for the future.
Apart from Louis van Gaal’s side, their fierce rivals Liverpool are also looking to complete a possible deal, though reports suggest that United have moved first and brought him over for a trial.
Digby moved to United’s Carrington training complex this week and was part of the squad for their Under-21 match against Stockport yesterday.
The Manchester based side are looking to quickly wrap up a deal for the 6’4” central midfield star, who also has a total of three caps for England’s Under-20 side.
