Manchester United defender Will Fish set for Hibernian loan

Manchester United centre-back Will Fish is set to join Scottish club Hibernian on loan.

Fish, 19, will join Hibernian on deadline day and the deal will see the youngster move to Edinburgh on a season-long loan.

The loan will give Fish the chance to develop in a first-team environment and it will be his second loan away from United. Fish spent six months on loan at Stockport County last season before he was recalled to United due to concerns over his game time.

The Manchester-born defender, who has captained England up to U19 level, signed a new long-term deal at United earlier this summer that will keep him at Old Trafford until at least June 2025, with the option of an additional year.

Fish made his first-team debut for United in the Premier League with a cameo against Wolves on the final day of the 2020/21 season.

The young defender travelled to Thailand and Australia for United's pre-season tour this summer but he played just 19 minutes.

Fish was shown a red card while playing against Crystal Palace in Australia.
