Josh Harrop is leaving Manchester United to join Preston North End in a permanent transfer.

The 21-year-old forward has signed a four-year deal with the Championship club and will officially make the move on July 3.

Harrop made a name for himself by scoring on his full debut for United in the win against Crystal Palace last month.

He said: “I'm delighted to be here, it's a new start for me to get things going in my career and I'm buzzing to get playing and to make an impact in the team.

“I've got four years now at Preston North End where I know I am going to be and I am going to put everything into that and dedicated myself to do the best for the team and the best for the fans.

“Hopefully I can achieve my aims and ambitions that I have set myself by coming here and that's to get promoted with Preston North End and help the club get as high as we can."

Preston have to agree a compensation fee with United because he is under the age of 24 and turned down a contract extension.
