Hull City confirm Nick Powell loan deal

Manchester United attacker Nick Powell has joined Hull City on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old arrives at the Championship leaders looking to help them gain promotion to the Premier League having failed to muscle his way into Louis van Gaal's plans at Old Trafford.

Powell has made just three Premier League appearances for United since joining the club from Crewe Alexandra in 2012, despite scoring on his debut in the top flight.

He has since spent time on loan with Wigan Athletic and Leicester City, although his time with the Foxes last season was cut short and he has spent the majority of the past year amongst the United youth team and reserves.

His time at Wigan was more fruitful, however, as he scored 12 goals for the Latics during the 2013-14 season.

Powell will wear the No.22 shirt at the KC Stadium.
