Manchester United starlet Di'Shon Bernard signs 'long-term deal' with the club

Manchester United youngster Di'Shon Bernard signed a long-term contract with the Red Devils before agreeing to a season-long loan spell at Hull City.

United were eager to keep hold of their starlet on a long-term basis after he impressed last season on loan with League Two side Salford City.

Bernard made 29 appearances for the Ammies and helped them to an eighth place finish in 2020-2021 season.

He will now head out on his second loan-deal with Hull City, before trying to establish a regular place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The 20-year-old is eager to hit the ground running at Hull and help Grant McCann’s side secure a second-straight promotion.

Speaking of his transfer to East Yorkshire, Bernard said: 'I'm very excited to join Hull City and hopefully it can be a very successful season for us.

'City are a very, very big club and used to being in the Premier League and hopefully they can get back to that spot, and hopefully I can play my part in getting them there.'

Bernard came through the Chelsea youth team ranks before joining Manchester United at 16 years old.

Following his switch to Old Trafford, Bernard made his senior debut in United's Europa League clash with Astana in 2019.

The 20-year-old has also been involved Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pre-season training schedule, but will temporarily part ways before the 2021-2022 season.
