UNITED AND JUVE AGREE O’BRIEN MOVE

Following protracted negotiations lasting the best part of a week, on Friday United boss Alex Smith confirmed agreement had been reached with Italian giants Juventus over Ronnie O'Brien's loan move. The 22-year-old Irishman has been fixed up for the rest of the season and so long as international clearance comes through in time, he could make his debut in Sunday's Tannadice clash with Kilmarnock.
