Lee, a key figure for United's Reserves in recent
years, has joined League One outfit Oldham Athletic on a free
transfer.
After spending the second half of the 2007/08 campaign on loan
at Queens Park Rangers, 19-year-old Lee signed a two-year deal
while the Reds were in Moscow.
“The club took a lot of the young lads to Moscow to see the
Champions League final,” Lee told Oldham’s website,
“but I came here to sign instead. It was definitely one of my aims
to join a local team and when Oldham came along it was perfect for
me.
“Hopefully I can get plenty of games. I’m certainly happy with
everything I’ve seen so far.”
Lee played three times for United’s first team, memorably scoring
an extra-time winner against Crewe Alexandra in the 2006/07 Carling
Cup.
