Wolves Confirm Season-Long Loan Deal for Manchester United Defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson

Published on: 21 August 2016

Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed the signing of Manchester United defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson on a season-long loan, the teenager leaving Old Trafford to get first-team experience.


The Championship club confirmed the deal on Monday afternoon, with United happy to loan out the player who won the club's Under-21 Player of the Year award at the end of last season after his impressive performances for the club's reserve side.

The 19-year-old also featured at full-back in Louis van Gaal's first team last season, making 14 appearances as the club's senior players were hit with a number of injuries - including Luke Shaw's leg break.


With Shaw back to fitness though, Borthwick-Jackson isn't expected to play a part in the club's Premier League campaign in the coming season, leading to Jose Mourinho finding him a club with which to play regular, competitive football to continue his development.

The youngster signed a new contract at Old Trafford over the summer, tying him to United until 2020 and showing the club's commitment to continuing his development. Speaking at the time, he said:"I have grown up at United and have enjoyed every minute of being here.


"Last season was an incredible experience to make my first team debut and a dream come true for myself and my family. I feel it stands me in good stead for continuing my development as a Manchester United player. I will continue to work hard and take advice from the manager and his coaching team to improve with every training session."
