Blackett Joins Celtic On Loan

Manchester United and Scottish champions Celtic have agreed a season-long loan deal for defender Tyler Blackett.

The 21-year-old has risen through the ranks at the club and signed a new long-term contract at Old Trafford last February.

The Scottish Premier League champions, who will be competing in the Europa League, have agreed a deal to take Blackett north of the border and he will link up with former Under-21 colleague Saidy Janko, who moved to the Bhoys permanently earlier this summer.

After making his debut against Swansea City in last season's opening fixture, Blackett went on to make 12 appearances for Louis van Gaal's team last term.
