Manchester United striker Charlie McNeill has agreed to join League Two side Newport County on loan until the end of the season.
The Manchester Evening News understand that everything is in place for the 19-year-old to complete his deal before Tuesday's deadline day.
McNeill has already trained with his new teammates and is excited to get started at his new club for the remaining few months of the season.

McNeill's move is subject to international clearance, with Newport's transfers finalised by the Welsh FA despite playing in the English league system.
The United academy graduate had a whole host of offers for his signature this month, but he has opted to join the League Two strugglers because of assurances about the role he will play.
McNeill, who scored twice for United's U21s against Feyenoord last week, is desperate to be playing regular football and has turned down offers from higher up the football pyramid because they could not promise him regular opportunities.
The Droylsden-born forward spent last season with League One side Sheffield Wednesday on a work experience loan, which allowed him to train with the first team but not play any games.
The teenager made his senior debut earlier this season when he came on in the closing minutes of United's home defeat to Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
The academy forward was also named on the bench for the trip to face FC Sheriff in Europe, but has not featured in another senior matchday squad since then.
McNeill made headlines three years ago when he rejoined United from Man City for an initial fee of £750,000 that could rise to £1.5million, having initially left the club back in 2014.
The teenage forward, who netted over 600 goals at youth level, rejected a new contract at City in order to rejoin his boyhood club.
