Hull City have signed Manchester United youngster Fraizer Campbell.

The 20-year-old has agreed a three-month loan deal at The KC Stadium and could make his debut against Watford this weekend.

Campbell has been involved with United's first-team this season - making his debut against Manchester City, but Sir Alex Ferguson has allowed him to move on a temporary deal.

"I don't think it's any secret that we like Fraizer and he's coming to us from a good club," said manager Phil Brown.

Ability

"We believe he can do a good job and the important thing for us now is to make him feel very much at home and get him into the fold as quickly as possible.

"We have a very tight-knit, super group of lads and I'm sure he'll enjoy his time here.

"We've watched Fraizer over a period of months rather than weeks. Our chief scout Bob Shaw has seen him on several occasions as have Brian Horton and myself.

"He was also on the television a number of times during Manchester United's pre-season because he played a lot of games.

"I think we're all aware of his ability and what he can bring to us. It's all about giving him the confidence and opportunity to show that, which is something I'm sure we'll do."
