Aberdeen this morning completed the signing of Manchester United striker James Wilson on a season long loan.

Recently regarded as one of the brightest young English prospects, the 22 year old has represented his country at every youth age group and scored on his debut for the England U19s and U21s.

He enjoyed a remarkable two-goal Premier League debut for Manchester United in the final home game of the 2013/14 season against Hull City. Since then he has had a number of loan spells in England.

In 2014/15 he made 17 appearances for the Old Trafford Club, mainly off the bench, scoring against QPR at Loftus Road in the English Premier League and against Cambridge United in the FA Cup. The following season, after playing a couple of games for United, he joined then Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion on loan. At the Amex Stadium he made 29 appearances and scored five goals; The Sussex side missed out on automatic promotion on goal difference from Middlesbrough that season.

May be a loan but a genuinely exciting signing IMO!

Exciting on paper but as of yet he hasn't lived up to the supposed promise. While that debut must have felt good, the reality is is probably put a lot more pressure on him to perform and prove what a talent he is and that has certainly not worked. Big move for him, he needs to perform well and he needs to get a lot of goals to get his career moving again.

Heard him interviewed on bbc Scotland, sounds like he is just putting himself in the shop window for a move.

He's bombed everywhere last few years and if he thinks the SPFL is a breeze he is in for a huge wake up call.
