Lincoln City have signed forward Ethan Wheatley on a season-long loan from Manchester United.
The 20-year-old academy product has made three appearances off the bench in the Premier League for the Red Devils, and another in the Carabao Cup.
After a loan spell at Walsall, Wheatley spent the first half of last season on loan at Northampton Town, where he scored three goals in 22 League One matches, before spending the rest of the campaign on loan at Bradford City.
"I played against Lincoln last season and didn't really enjoy it, so I'm glad to be part of the team now," Wheatley told the club website., external
"I've had some loans over the past 18 months. I started in League Two, then last season League One so am looking forward to stepping up to the Championship."
The newly promoted Imps have lost both of their opening two Championship games, scoring two goals, but did beat Derby County in the first round of the Carabao Cup.
Lincoln sporting director Jez George said: "Ethan can play anywhere across the top line and has a skill set that will add elite athleticism and pace, as well as technical ability, to our attacking options.
"He has the attributes, versatility, maturity and work ethic to make a real impact for us at the top end of our team."
