Man Utd sign Regan Poole from Newport County

Poole has already represented Wales at U17 level, which is very good to see and that will help his progression and he will get better, and just a year ago Poole became Newport’s youngest ever player in the clubs history when he made his debut.

The Red Devils have put together a package that could rise to £400,000 based on appearances.

“He’s a smashing boy with a great future ahead of him at a fantastic club”. He may have called time on his professional football career.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for him to progress at such a magnificent club”, Newport boss Terry Butcher said.

Relative pocket change for Manchester United, but a price tag which would make a huge difference at the League Two club.

County this week turned down several offers from Burnley for Collins, who scored his second goal of the season before missing from the spot as Swindon Town won Tuesday’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy tie on penalties.

Manchester United have completed the signing of Newport County defender Regan Poole for an undisclosed fee.

Poole, 17, who trained with Liverpool earlier this year, was also a target of Championship side Hull City.

The Old Trafford club confirmed on Tuesday afternoon they had completed a deal to sign the 19-year-old French striker.

However, the Argus understands that County have now rebuffed three separate offers for the Newport-born youngster and are hopeful he will stay put.

Contrary to reports, Press Association Sport understands United did not enquire about Borussia Dortmund forward Marco Reus when they loaned Adnan Januzaj to the Bundeliga club on Monday.
