Premier League new boys Burnley have
completed the signing of young defender Richard Eckersley from
Manchester United.
The full-back has inked a four-year deal at Turf Moor
after turning down a new deal at United.
As he is under 24, Burnley will have to agree a compensation
package with United for the 20-year-old.
Eckersley came through the ranks at Old Trafford and he was
tipped for a big future at the club.
However, Clarets boss Owen Coyle has managed to persuade him to
turn his back on United and move to the Premier League new
boys.
Eckersley is Burnley's fifth new signing of the summer following
the arrivals of Tyrone Mears, Steven Fletcher, David Edgar and
Brian Easton.
