Hull City boss Phil Brown is hopeful of working with United
striker Fraizer Campbell again after the youngster helped the Tigers
gain promotion to English football's top flight.
The 20-year-old excelled during his seven-month loan spell at Hull last season, firing 15 goals in 32 starts.
Brown
was hugely impressed by the Huddersfield-born frontman and remains
optimistic a deal can be done to make Campbell a Tiger for the upcoming
campaign.
"I spoke at length with Sir Alex Ferguson at the end
of the season, having kept him up to speed with the progress Fraizer
had made all season," revealed Brown.
"He was adamant that all
his players would come back for pre-season training, but said when they
come back from their pre-season trip to South Africa there is an
opportunity to talk again.
"I fully trust Sir Alex's word on that and when they come back I will be putting a call in. There is always a possibility.
"There
are one or two strikers out there we have earmarked as priority," he
added. "But if Fraizer Campbell became available we would certainly be
interested in taking him, either permanent or on loan."
Campbell
played 29 minutes of United's 2-0 friendly victory at Aberdeen last
weekend, coming on as a second half substitute for Ryan Giggs.
