Hull sign James Weir from United

The 21-year-old was at Old Trafford for eight years, but struggled to break into the United first-team despite being the club's U-21 captain.

The midfielder has signed a three-year deal with Mike Phelan's side, becoming the second player in two days to make the move east across the Pennines after Will Keane signed for Hull yesterday.

"It’s an important time in my career and I think every player of my age wants to try and start playing regular first team football,” Weir told Hull City's official website.

"I couldn’t be happier to join Hull and really get my career started. The key thing for me is that I can be a regular part of the first team squad here and I hope I can help as the club continues to move forward. 

"I’m just looking forward to cracking on now and getting started here. It will be an exciting time once the international break is over and I can’t wait to meet the rest of the lads".
