Roy Keane has used his Old Trafford connections to bring in
Manchester United defender Danny Simpson on loan for the rest of
the season.
Keane has steadied the ship at the Stadium of Light and following a
fine run of form the focus has shifted to a push for promotion to
the Premiership.
The Irishman has been an active player in the transfer market this
month and Simpson becomes the fifth new face to arrive, following
the captures of Marton Fulop, Carlos Edwards, Anthony Stokes and
Jonny Evans.
Simpson, a product of United's academy, spent the first half of the
season at Belgian side Royal Antwerp but will now get the chance to
showcase his talents in England.
The 20-year-old will go straight into the Black Cats squad for
Tuesday's game against Crystal Palace at the Stadium of Light.
