Manchester United loan striker James Wilson to Derby County for season

Manchester United striker James Wilson has joined Championship club Derby County on a season-long loan.

Wilson, 20, started last season as part of United's first-team squad and featured against Arsenal in the Premier League and Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup, but he then joined Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for the rest of the season, scoring five league goals as the Seagulls went on to lose in the Championship playoffs.

Although Wilson played in manager Jose Mourinho's first match in charge, a 2-0 friendly win over Wigan Athletic, he has fallen down the pecking order following the emergence of Marcus Rashford and the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
