Celtic’s McManus on his way to Middlesbrough

Stephen McManus will complete his long-awaited permanent move to Middlesbrough within the next 72 hours, reports the Sunday Sun.

Boro have agreed a fee with Celtic and a three-year contract with McManus, and now only minor details over personal terms are delaying the deal.

The 27-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at the Riverside, and Boro boss Gordon Strachan has never disguised his intent to land his former Parkhead skipper on a full-time basis.

That story was published on June 13th 2010 in the Sunday Sun. McManus has been gone for months.

You truly are the worst sports website on the web. Sitting on NewsNow.co.uk and nicking a paragraph from every football story going does not make you journalists.
