DONE DEAL: Brentford sign permanently Man Utd midfielder Max Haygarth | OneFootball

Brentford have signed permanently Manchester United midfielder Max Haygarth.

The young midfielder joined Brentford's B-team on an initial loan deal in October but he quickly impressed and made his first-team debut as a late substitute in a victory over Nottingham Forest less than a month later.

Haygarth has gone on to score four goals in 11 appearances for Brentford B and will continue to work with the youth side after bringing his lengthy stay at United to a close.

The 18-year-old first joined United's academy when he was just 9 and went on to represent the club at Under-18s and Under-23s level.

“We're delighted that Max will be signing with us permanently," said Brentford B Head Coach Neil MacFarlane.

"He has come in and made a real impression on the group, with his attitude and his quality on a daily basis. Max was highly thought of at Manchester United and he has had a fantastic football education having come through the ranks there.

“Since he has come to us it's been our job to try and improve him and, hopefully, he can get to the levels where he can compete to train and then play for the First Team, as we saw when he made his debut against Nottingham Forest.

"It's been a quick rise, but it comes down to the fact that he's really bought into what we are as a B Team and who we are as a Football Club. He has really good quality at the top end of the pitch, and of course, there is still a long way to go in terms of his development, but he's already made steps which he can be really proud of.

"There's much more to come from him and he has the potential to really kick on in his career."
