Wants to go on loan again. Would be a good move if first team opportunities aren't opening up. Aside from League Cup games and the remote possibility of a succession of injuries to Young, Nani, Evra and Rafael, he won't get much first team football as it stands.

Good if he got a lower premiership team to take him. Somewhere where he'd play a lot

Liverpool?

[the bear]

Liverpool?

I'd say the scousers would prefer him over Downing and Borini

[NeverFeltBetter]

United have done that before, to great success, with the likes of Danny Welbeck.

[Charlie Darwin]

Not to Liverpool though. I would have suggested Sunderland was the ideal destination before they got Adam Johnson. Ferguson likes Roberto Martinez so Wigan could be an option, maybe QPR or West Ham too.

[the bear]

swansea would be great

He wasn't even given a squad number while the likes of angelo henriquez, powell and bebe were so would assume his chances aren't even of the remote kind.

[Charlie Darwin]

He's number 37.

I can only presume the number Bebe was given was 45 with a P in front of it. Jaysus.

Hughton wants to make Robbie Brady a Canary

http://www.joe.ie/football/football-news/hughton-wants-to-make-robbie-brady-a-canary-0028345-1

After his virtuoso international debut on Tuesday night Robbie Brady is hot property at the moment and an Irish legend is keen on taking him on board.

Despite a brilliant display for Ireland against an admittedly ramshackle Oman side at Craven Cottage, Brady is unlikely to see much game time at Manchester United this season and has admitted that he might have to go out on loan again to enhance his international prospects.

Brady shone while on loan at Hull last season and having watched him in action on Tuesday night, Chris Hughton is reportedly interested in bringing Brady to Norwich on a temporary basis.

The Irish Daily Star are reporting this morning that both the Canaries and Wigan could move to sign Brady on loan, even though there is a possibility he could feature on the United bench against Wigan tomorrow due to a mini injury crisis and is likely to play against Newcastle in the league cup later this month if he hangs around.

Brady played at left back during United’s tour of South Africa in the summer with a view to providing cover for Patrice Evra this season, but the signing of Alexander Buttner from Vitesse Arnhem would appear to have put paid to that idea for now.

“Signing him (Buttner) has changed things but one injury to another player could have me back in there too,” Brady told the Irish Daily Star.

“While I like playing reserve games, which I’ve done in the last few weeks, I need to be playing at a higher level to push on. That may be out on loan.”

Even though he sparkled on his debut, Giovanni Trapattoni has also hinted that the 20-year old is unlikely to be called upon for next month’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Germany and unless he sees more action at club level, it could be a while before he’s back in the green shirt again.

Brady seems destined for big things eventually, but rotting in the United reserves or on the Old Trafford bench will hardly do him any good and a loan move may be the best option.

Whatever happens, the more we see of this lad this season, the better.

[Charlie Darwin]

That would be a good move for him, although I think Wigan would be better. Let's hope if it's the latter that Martinez doesn't try to convince him to declare for Scotland.

[CraftyToePoke]

Leicester being linked in these parts as well http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/83646-robbie-brady-on-loan/

He was with Pearson at Hull last season. Time for him to light up the Prem though I hope.

[Bayern Munchies]

Norwich would be a decent move for him, but i still think Wigan would be the best move, especially with Moses gone to Chelsea and the fact they play some really nice football and I think he would do really well there

[Olé Olé]

Just looking at the Wigan team from their game against Stoke, Martinez went with Beasejour and Maloney on the flanks. Rio Miyaichi, the hot Japanese prospect on loan from Arsenal, was left on the bench. That doesn't bode too well for Brady going there. However, United are playing Wigan this weekend so a quick bottle of vino may be shared between Fergie and Martinez and the topic of Brady may come up for discussion.

In relation to Norwich, they have quite a number of wing options in Pilkington, Snodgrass, Bradley Johnson and Hoolahan.

I'd like to see Brady tested in the Premier League, at least until January, by which stage he can move to a Championship club like Leicester if opportunities at a struggling Premier League club with a manager under pressure to bring around results rather than developing and trusting another club's player don't present themselves.

[tetsujin1979]

Wigan have previous with United as well, Cleverly went on loan there the season before last

Nice article about Brady from The UK Independent.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/irelands-brady-ready-to-queuejump-at-united-8142350.html

[Charlie Darwin]

Indo article suggests Brady will play in the cup against Newcastle next week before going on loan to Leicester, despite the interest of EPL clubs.

[IsMiseSean]

Are EPL clubs allowed sign players on loan outside the window?

[Charlie Darwin]

Are EPL clubs allowed sign players on loan outside the window?
Yes, the loan window is open until the end of the March I think.

[theworm2345]

Yes, the loan window is open until the end of the March I think.
That doesn't mean they can sign loan players, they still have to stick to the squad they submitted a few weeks ago. Now because Brady is under 21 it might not apply to him.

[Murfinator]

Under 21's don't need to be registered to play, so he's free to go whereever within the window. I think there's a rule about not allowing more than one loan from a team in the same division so QPR would be out.

[tetsujin1979]

on the bench for tonight's league cup game against Newcastle

[Charlie Darwin]

That'z disappointing.

[tricky_colour]

he is on

[Charlie Darwin]

Looked tidy and got plenty of touches in the time he was on. May have been a little conservative going forward - Powell looked a lot more confident - but he looks like the kind of player who can hang on to the ball easily enough. Tougher tests await. Hopefully he can go out on loan to a Premier League club now.

[Closed Account]

He was playing left back on a team holding onto a 2-1 lead, he wasn't expected to push forward. He can't go on loan to a premier league club either. Premier League clubs can loan players out but not in.

[Charlie Darwin]

Are you sure? That's a shame. Looks like the news reports about Wigan/Norwich being interested were just made up then.

[BonnieShels]

So how come Lukaku is at WBA and Benayoun is at West Ham?

[Charlie Darwin]

They're allowed to be loaned during the transfer window but not the loan window, from what I can gather.

[tetsujin1979]

linked with a loan to Nottingham Forest this morning, they already have Jermaine Jenas, James Coppinger, Billy Sharp and Daniel Ayala on loan.
Isn't there a limit on the number of loan players you can have?

[Closed Account]

The maximum number of Temporary Transfers to any one Club registrable
in the same Season shall be 4 and in no circumstances shall more than 1 be
from the same Transferor Club

[Junior]

Just heard Lou Macari on Talksport, who was covering Man Utds reserve game against Newcastle last night and said Robbie was carried off towards the end of the game.

On phone at moment. I'm sure another poster can add more detail / confirm.

[Charlie Darwin]

It says Sunderland here: http://thepeoplesperson.com/report-manchester-united-u21s-0-0-sunderland/

I think they played Newcastle reserves last week before the league cup game.

The link just says an injury, not being stretchered off, and the United forum here makes no mention of a stretcher either: http://www.redcafe.net/f40/u21s-sunderland-vs-united-359766/index2.html

Wolves touted as his destination now. They have quite a large squad but, obviously, Brady has enough talent to prosper once he receives game-time. I'm sure that's something Ferguson will be fairly insistent upon as a condition to the move.

As far as I know, he can move to a Premier League club on loan in January, so until then the best he can do is a Championship side. January should see him move somewhere like Norwich or get more opportunities at his parent club, I would presume. I'd be surprised if he joins Wolves for the season.

[Charlie Darwin]

Wolves have three wingers out injured so it makes sense. They tried to buy him during the summer it seems but were knocked back.

[Colbert Report]

He looks like our most exciting prospect in years.

[nigel-harps1954]

He looks like our most exciting prospect in years.

Since Conor Clifford got the same treatment anyway.

And not to mention Owen Garvan.

[Olé Olé]

Since Conor Clifford got the same treatment anyway.

And not to mention Owen Garvan.

Our most exciting prospect since James McCarthy, I would have said.

Clifford has yet to make his international debut, not to mention score on the debut. Nor has he played as much Championship football as Brady, he hasn't played at that level yet. Furthermore, Brady has 7 goals for our under 21's. Clifford has played a game more than him and has yet to score.The hype about Brady, at this moment, is more than justified and fair.

[Charlie Darwin]

Wolves have brought in Ireland's Jermaine Pennant on loan.

[tricky_colour]

He has got 10 goals and at least 3 assists in his last 16 games at various levels, I only
know of his assists for his 2 outings for the first team, so I expect he has a few more in the other
14 games. Only got 3 goals in 39 games for Hull though.

[The Fly]

He's heading back to Hull on loan (http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soccer/2012/1105/1224326176441.html)

[liamoo11]

Interesting to see where he plays.Keith quinnn seems to play behind the striker decent payers wide in that hull side

[Charlie Darwin]

I suspect he will be joining Hull permanently next season.

[Charlie Darwin]

On the bench tonight at home to Wolves, Quinn and McShane starting. Doyle and Ward start for Wolves with Foley and Forde on the bench.

[DannyInvincible]

Brady has extended his loan spell at Hull until the 2nd of January: http://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/3921/transfer-zone/2012/12/05/3580960/manchester-united-winger-brady-extends-loan-spell-at-hull

[Charlie Darwin]

Weird, the IT report The Fly linked to when he was originally loaned said it was until the end of the season.

[tricky_colour]

Yes 2nd Jan is only a few weeks away so to say it is being extended until then seems a bit odd.
If sounds more like his loan is being cut short on the 2nd Jan.
However it seems he was only on a one month loan anyway which seems a bit short.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20611110
Can't be easy not know which club you will be playing for from month to month.

[Predator]

One month deals with the option of extension (usually an extra month) are common for young players nowadays.

[Carrigaline]

Robbie Brady scored a peach of a free kick today to secure victory for Hull City.
