Bold Eagles: Chris Eagles is set to complete a
£1.25m move from Manchester United to Burnley.
Chris Eagles is turning his back on
Manchester
United and moving to Burnley in a £1.25m
deal. Despite scoring against Portsmouth and Kaiser Chiefs on
United's tour of Africa, 22-year-old Eagles has come to the
conclusion that he will have to leave Old Trafford to play regular
first-team football.
He had already held discussions with Burnley boss Owen Coyle
before leaving on the tour, and will now sign a three-year deal at
Turf Moor.
Eagles is not worried about dropping down to the Championship,
having already had impressive spells on loan at Watford and
Sheffield Wednesday. Burnley have also taken Latvian left winger
Aleksandrs Solovjovs on trial.
