James Wilson to be released by Manchester United this summer

  /  autty

James Wilson will leave Manchester United this summer at the end of his contract.

The 23-year-old burst onto the scene with a brace against Hull on his senior debut in 2014 but has failed to kick on from there.

Wilson spent last season on loan at Aberdeen and is set to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires this summer.

Wilson is expected to receive a number of offers as United staff believe he can still make a successful career for himself but away from Old Trafford.

Defensive prospect Regan Poole is the other notable departure.

However, the 20-year-old is at least hoping to end his season on a high as he plays for Newport County against Tranmere Rovers in the League Two Play Off Final at Wembley on Saturday.

The Wales U21 international is wanted on a permanent deal by Newport but will put himself in the shop window with a good performance as other League Two and League One clubs plan to watch him play.

Midfielder Matty Willock, 22, who was on loan at St Mirren and Crawley Town this season, will also be allowed to go as will the skilful DJ Buffonge.

Former Oldham loanee Zak Dearnley, a right winger, will leave United and he will be joined by 20-year-old midfielder Callum Whelan, who had a spell on loan at Port Vale, 19-year-old midfielder Tom Sang, centre-back Tyrell Warren, 20, Dutch winger Millen Baars, 18, and USA right-back Matty Olosunde, 21.
