Manchester United agree deal with Huddersfield for Barrett and Spratt

Manchester United confirm a deal with Huddersfield Town has been agreed that sees promising u18 defensive duo Jake Barrett and Harry Spratt leaving Old Trafford to join the Terriers.

Barrett made seven appearances for the Kieran McKenna’s u18 side last season and six this campaign. The young Red Devils are fourth in Division Two, just two points adrift of leaders Swansea City after seven games and boast the second-best defensive record.

The 18-year-old centre-back, who joined the Red Devils in July 2016, had a trial with Burnley in March but has now returned to his hometown club.
