Preston bosss Ferguson welcomes arrival of Man Utd striker Joshua King

Preston North End boss Darren Ferguson is delighted with their loan signing of Manchester United striker Joshua King.

Sir Alex Ferguson has sent the Norwegian teenager to Deepdale in order to receive more first-team opportunities and he will link up with fellow United loanee Matty James who is on season-long loan with Darren Ferguson's men.

Preston boss Ferguson told his club's official website: "He's quick, he's strong, he's a good size and he's a tremendous prospect and we are really looking forward to working with him."

The 18-year-old made just one substitute appearance since moving to Old Trafford from Vålerenga in 2008.
