Blackpool sign Manchester United youngster Joe Rothwell on loan

Championship strugglers Blackpool have completed the loan signing of Joe Rothwell from Manchester United.

The 20-year-old is a regular for United's Under-21 development side and joins the Tangerines for the rest of the season.

"Joe is someone we've been monitoring for a while and I'm pleased that a deal has been agreed," Blackpool boss Lee Clark told the club website.

"He's very highly regarded at Old Trafford and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Rothwell will begin training with the Seasiders on Thursday ahead of possibly making his senior debut in club football against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
