Apoel Nicosia snap up Man Utd defender Nicholas Ioannou

Talented Manchester United defender Nicholas Ioannou has joined Cyprus' Apoel Nicosia.

The centre-back has been officially unveiled as an Apoel player after agreeing a switch back to his native Cyprus.

The 18-year-old made his Old Trafford debut as a 16-year-old, in the FA Youth Cup win against Charlton Athletic, but missed a large chunk of the 2012/2013 season after sustaining an injury at the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland.

Nonetheless, Ioannou was regularly involved with the Under-18s this term and also featured in the UEFA Youth League for the Reds.
