Tigers pounce for Campbell
Championship side Hull City have reportedly signed United striker
Fraizer Campbell on loan until the turn of the year.
The 20-year-old striker has featured for United's first team side
twice this season, as a substitute against Manchester City and
Coventry City, and he will hope for more senior action with the
Tigers.
City's first team coach, Steve Parkin, told the official Hull
website: "I don't think it's any secret that we like Fraizer and
he's coming to us from a good club.
"We believe he can do a good job and the important thing for us now
is to make him feel very much at home and get him into the fold as
quickly as possible. We have a very tight-knit, super group of lads
and I'm sure he'll enjoy his time here."
Parkin also revealed that the Tigers have been monitoring
Campbell's rapid progress for some time, and he is confident that
the pacy forward can be a hit at the KC Stadium.
"We've watched Fraizer over a period of months rather than weeks,"
said Parkin. "Our chief scout Bob Shaw has seen him on several
occasions as have Brian Horton and myself.
"He was also on the television a number of times during Manchester
United's pre-season because he played a lot of games.
"I think we're all aware of his ability and what he can bring to
us. It's all about giving him the confidence and opportunity to
show that, which is something I'm sure we'll do."
