Man Utd striker Wilson set for Fulham loan

James Wilson will join Fulham on loan from Manchester United, according to reports.

The Sun is of the belief that the Red Devils will send the 20-year-old striker to Craven Cottage for a season-long spell following the summer arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Wilson spent time with Brighton & Hove Albion last season, scoring five goals for the Seagulls, and will now head back to the Championship for regular game time after being deemed surplus to requirements by Jose Mourinho who left him out of the pre-season squad for the tour of China.

The England U21 international sits behind Wayne Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the United strike pecking order and is set to link up with Slavisa Jokanovic's squad ahead of the 2016/17 Championship campaign.
