Manchester United are set to complete the signing of shot-stopper Paul Woolston after a successful trial period at the club.
The 20-year-old was released by Newcastle but the Red Devils have seemingly been impressed by his abilities. In particular, Woolston's distribution has caught the eye of United's coaches.
Woolston isn't the tallest, however, standing at around 6ft - which is one of the reasons why he was let go by the Magpies.
He will join up with their Under-23s and provide competition for fellow stoppers Matej Kovar and Alex Fojticek.
