'Leeds United are delighted to announce the signing of Cameron Borthwick-Jackson from Manchester United,' the Sky Bet Championship club announced on their official website.

'The highly-rated, left-footed defender joins the Whites on a season-long loan from the Premier League outfit.'
Leeds head coach Thomas Christiansen has been searching for a replacement for Charlie Taylor, who joined Burnley for an undisclosed compensation fee last month.
Gaetano Berardi started at left-back in Leeds' 3-2 win at Bolton on Sunday, but was forced off at the Macron Stadium after dislocating his shoulder and is waiting to learn the full extent of the injury.

Leeds are also waiting to learn the severity of centre-half Matthew Pennington's injury as the Everton loanee's debut on Sunday was cut short after he turned his ankle in the second half.
Borthwick-Jackson progressed through Manchester United's academy and following his first-team debut under former manager Louis van Gaal in November 2015 has gone on to make a total of 14 appearances.
However, Borthwick-Jackson did not feature in Jose Mourinho's plans and joined Wolves on loan last season and made seven appearances.
