Manchester United completed permanent deal for defender

Manchester United have confirmed their defender Reece James has left the club and joined Wigan Athletic on Tuesday.

After being promoted to the first team in 2013, he had to wait for one more year to make his first team debut in the league cup defeat against MK Dons. He had an impressive pre-season tour before the start of the 2014-15 season.

James was included in the squad in the opening Premier League defeat to Swansea City last August. However, lack of playing time forced him to leave the club on-loan during the last term.
