New addition: Shinji Kagawa has also joined the ranks
Posted Wednesday, June 13, 2012 by Dailymail
Manchester United have completed their second signing of the summer with highly-rated Crewe youngster Nick Powell joining on a four-year deal.
The 18-year-old England Under 18 international is considered one of the nation's hottest prospects and United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has beaten off the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City for his services.
The deal is believed to be in the region of £4million with £2.75m being paid up front to the newly-promoted League One side.
United he stands: Nick Powell has joined Manchester United
It is understood that Blackburn are interested in allowing Powell experience in the Championship next season on a short-term deal but Ferguson is likely to reject that offer and put him on a fast-track into his first-team plans.
Ferguson told the club's official website: 'We have scouted Nick for months now. He is an exceptional talent and has been schooled well at Crewe.
'I’m delighted he has chosen to come to United. He has a lot to offer and we are all looking forward to working with him.'
