  Manchester United winger Chris Eagles has joined Burnley on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee believed to be in excess of £1million.

  Eagles, 22, joined the Premier League champions at the age of 14 but has failed to establish himself as a regular part of Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team plans.

  And despite being prominent in United's pre-season campaign, scoring against Kaizer Chiefs and Portsmouth on their tour of Africa, Eagles has finally called time on his Old Trafford career.

  The Red Devils academy graduate, who enjoyed previous loan spells at Watford, Sheffield Wednesday and Dutch outfit NEC Nijmegen, becomes Burnley's sixth summer signing.

  Nvm lah... I guess many United fans like him but in truth, he is not up to the mark yet... and i would say still far away... His right-wing position, apart from Ronaldo, Fletcher, Park, Nani... all can play in that position... in fact, all 3 can play in different positions also... This Eagles is only right-wing... and also not very good at it still...
