Manchester United have completed the signing of another teenager - Regan Poole from Newport County.

Sportsmail revealed the proposed £400,000 move this morning and the 17-year-old centre-half signed for United one minute before the 6pm deadline after agreeing personal terms and completing his medical.

Newport boss Terry Butcher said: 'In the past few days a number of clubs have shown an interest in Regan, but as soon as Manchester United came in there was only really going to be one outcome.

'It is every boy's dream to play for Manchester United, and it's a wonderful opportunity for him to progress at such a magnificent club.

'It doesn't matter which country you are in, or where you are in the world, when Manchester United come calling you have to answer.

'What it does show for our club is that there is a pathway right to the very top.

'Someone like Regan, who started of at Cardiff but was released and then came to us, it doesn't matter which age the players come to us they can emulate Regan's footsteps.

'It's a great boost for the club, in terms of the academy, the first team and the area of Newport. The region produces a lot of good, young footballing talent.

'We are active in the transfer market and there will be options for us when the loan window re-opens again in a week's time.
