Tyler Blackett has signed for Championship side Reading two years on from his surprise breakthrough season at Manchester United.
Reading have signed defender Tyler Blackett from Manchester United on a three-year deal.
Blackett was handed a surprise debut in Louis van Gaal's first Premier League game in charge of United in August 2014, a 2-1 home defeat to Swansea City, and went on to make 12 first-team appearances that season.
The 22-year-old spent last term on loan with Celtic, but only played eight times for the Scottish champions and, with a route into Jose Mourinho's first-team plans appearing unlikely, he will continue his career under former United fans' favourite Jaap Stam in the Championship.
"As we know, Tyler is a talented defender who has played for United’s first team," said Reading boss Stam.
