Manchester United defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson will sign for Oldham Athletic on loan today.

The 22-year old had interest from MLS clubs Minnesota United and New York Red Bulls but will delay a decision on moving to USA until the summer.

The centre back has been training with League Two Oldham to up his fitness after a couple of injuries and has opted to see out the season with them in a bid to pick up competitive game time.

Borthwick-Jackson is out of contract in the summer but United have a one year option.

The defender has not hit the heights promised after making his debut for the first-team in 2015 under Louis Van Gaal.

He was named young player of the year for the 2015-16 season, making 14 appearances in all competitions.

But when Jose Mourinho took over in the summer of 2016, he was sent out on-loan to Wolves the following season and his form and confidence deteriorated.

Since then he has been out on loan at Leeds United, Scunthorpe United and Tranmere Rovers this season.
