Manchester United sell youngster Josh King to Blackburn Rovers

Manchester United have sold striker Josh King to Blackburn.

King failed to make the grade at United and did not start a single league game during his four years at the club.

He was sent out on loan four times, most recently to Blackburn, and the Championship side have made the deal permanent.

Despite not having a manager, Rovers have managed to secure the 20-year-old on a two-and-a-half year contract.

He has scored twice in eight matches for the club so far this season.
