UNITED SEAL POWELL DEAL
After making a personal visit to watch Nick Powell in action, Alex Ferguson has decided to splash out £4million to sign the Crewe youngster, according to the Mail on Sunday.
The 18-year-old has been a regular in the Railwaymen's first team this season, notching 15 goals in 44 appearances. Powell is another graduate of Crewe's famous academy, run by Dario Gradi, which has produced the likes of David Platt, Danny Murphy, Seth Johnson and Dean Ashton in the past.
The transfer signals United's determination to stick to a policy of building with youth, and in Powell they have signed an excellent prospect who can play both as an attacking midfielder and out-and-out striker.
Crewe will hold onto their star player for the League Two playoff final against Cheltenham on May 27, giving United fans the perfect opportunity to have a look at the club's new signing.
