Man United Star To Cardiff? Updated.

Updated. He's now signed and confirmed as a Reading player.

Manchester United defender Tyler Blackett will make a decision on whether to join Reading or Cardiff City in the next 48 hours.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the two clubs have both agreed a fee with Man United for the centre-back, and the 22-year-old must now decide on which club he wants to

Blackett broke into the Manchester United first-team under Louis Van Gaal, but, despite producing some impressive displays, he struggled for consistency and made several avoidable errors, with the latter trait again in evidence during his spell with Celtic.

that he had an average pass accuracy of 92% in the Europa League last season, and he will surely be relishing the opportunity to play regularly in the Championship.

A move to Reading, who are managed by former United defender Jaap Stam, is an intriguing possibility for Blackett, and the 22-year-old attended the Royals’ game with Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.

However, Blackett will hold discussions with Cardiff today before making his decision. Another United youngster has been on the move, with left-back Cameron Borthwick-Jackson joining Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan deal.

TYLER BLACKETT will hold talks with Cardiff today over a move to the Championship.

Blackett looked set to join the Bluebirds' second-tier rivals Reading after watching them play against Brighton on Saturday.

Japp Stam has confirmed he's interested in the defender.

Get Reading even claim Blackett has undergone a medical with the club.

But Reading's deal could be hijacked by Cardiff.

We can't get rid of the last one from there????

Fantastic player but just cant see it myself. with their new investment surely Reading will outbid us on wages. would love to get him.

Come to think of it, but hasen't Mehmet Dalman got connections at MUFC?

How many goals did you expect a defender to score?

would be a very good signing. can move Peltier back to fullback and Blackett would slot into the left sided of the 3 centrebacks and Connolly back to his natural right side of the 3 centrebacks as he dont look comfortable on the left side of it. as we found out on weekend when he was turned inside out

Is star misspelt or? Thought this was the guy that only played 3 times for Celtic and wasn't wanted by United :/

Not what we need IMO CB is our strongest area we need a pacy striker.

Did he use them when he appointed Solskjar?

Just a fan I think?

He was involved in the financing of the takeover wasn't he

He was and I wonder if sometimes he regrets it? IMHO, would make a good owner/Chairman if he was left to his own devices rather than being a middle man!

Wouldn't mind him can play centre half and left back

He's a season ticket holder

If this is true, I'd think japp stam may have the pulling power.

Don't think we can compete with clubs like Reading I'm afraid

I'm reading that he's already had a medical with reading. I couldn't see him turning down the chance to be mentored by a world class center half and tbh I can't see us affording him so I dunno if there's any truth at all in it

I'd like to see us sign a promising youngster such as this lad but I'm struggling to see why he would choose us over Reading unless perhaps we're willing to provide more of a guarantee of first team football than Reading are.

Signed now for Reading.

I doubt we were ever in with a serious chance of signing him.

Didn't take him long to make his mind up.

We can boo him on Saturday!

Media putting two and two together with regards to us, perhaps we did have a bid in but he chose Reading, more money on offer maybe?!

I remember not so long ago us taking ALF off them because they were skint, look how that turned out.

Apparently he had a medical there on the weekend!

Sounds as if we were not in for him in 1st place?

We were probably in for Jaap Stam instead.
