Midfielder pleased to complete Man Utd transfer, reveals conversation with coach

Highly talented Manchester United midfield Oliver Rathbone has agreed a deal to join the League one outfit Rochdale this summer.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been released from his contract by the Old Trafford outfit and will complete his transfer to the League one club at the start of July. His contract at Old Trafford expires next week and United have decided against renewing it.

Rathbone is a product of the Manchester United academy and has failed to convince the coaches at Carrington that he is ready to make the step up to the first team at Manchester United.
