Livingston Set for United Link-Up

United already have many link-up deals with clubs all over the world, including deals with Sporting Lisbon and Sao Paulo.

When completed, the deal will is likely to see some of United's most promising young players head to Almondvale Park on loan. In return, United will be able to poach Livington's brightest players.

United's chief executive is delighted with the deal, and believes it will be beneficial for both parties involved.

"Things with Livingston aren't finalised but they will be very shortly," said Kenyon.

"We have several relationships like it throughout the world and we're hopeful this one will be just as successful.

"Livi are in a good catchment area and we see this as a long-term arrangement between the clubs.

"Manchester United used to get a lot of players from Scotland. That has dried up in recent years so maybe this will help change that."

The Red Devils may also offer Livingston a friendly match to take place in the future as part of the agreement, which will be very beneficial financially for the Scottish club.
