Ex-Man Utd midfielder McGhee chose Braga over Rangers

Former Manchester United midfielder Dion McGhee chose Braga over an offer from Rangers.

The Sun reports McGhee snubbed Rangers to sign for Braga on a free transfer.

The English midfielder, 20, was released by the Old Trafford club after 14 years last summer.

He went on trial to Newcastle earlier this season but, despite appearing three times in the Premier League 2 for the Under-23s, was not offered a contract.

McGhee was tracked by Steven Gerrard's Gers, Derby and Antwerp.

But now he hopes to get his career back on track in Portugal.

The playmaker is looking forward to developing under former Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal.

He signed a contract until the end of the season but there is a club option for a deal until 2024.
