Tigers pounce for Campbell
Championship side Hull City have reportedly signed United striker Fraizer Campbell on loan until the turn of the year.
The 20-year-old striker has featured for United's first team side twice this season, as a substitute against Manchester City and Coventry City, and he will hope for more senior action with the Tigers.
City's first team coach, Steve Parkin, told the official Hull website: "I don't think it's any secret that we like Fraizer and he's coming to us from a good club.
"We believe he can do a good job and the important thing for us now is to make him feel very much at home and get him into the fold as quickly as possible. We have a very tight-knit, super group of lads and I'm sure he'll enjoy his time here."
Parkin also revealed that the Tigers have been monitoring Campbell's rapid progress for some time, and he is confident that the pacy forward can be a hit at the KC Stadium.
"We've watched Fraizer over a period of months rather than weeks," said Parkin. "Our chief scout Bob Shaw has seen him on several occasions as have Brian Horton and myself.
"He was also on the television a number of times during Manchester United's pre-season because he played a lot of games.
"I think we're all aware of his ability and what he can bring to us. It's all about giving him the confidence and opportunity to show that, which is something I'm sure we'll do." -
Hull 3-0 Barnsley

Hull City want longer Campbell deal
The 20-year-old Manchester United forward is on loan at the KC Stadium for the rest of the year, yet chairman Paul Duffen hopes he can keep him for the rest of the season.
"There would be little chance of us being able to sign him permanently," he said in the Daily Express.
"But if, come January, he is not considered quite ready for the Premier League and he is enjoying his football here, we would look to make it a loan until the end of the season." -
