Manchester United youngster Matty Willock lands in Holland to complete season-long loan move to FC Utrecht

Manchester United midfielder Matty Willock is in Holland ahead of sealing a season-long loan to FC Utrecht.

The 21-year-old was expected to join last week, only for the deal to be held up as the Dutch side considered their options following their Europa League exit at the hands of Zenit St Petersburg.

Willock, whose brother Chris joined Benfica from Arsenal this summer, trained with United's first team last season after impressing for the U23s.
