Youngster James Wilson will be leaving Old Trafford this season. Yet, in spite of the depleted resources in attack, and the severe issues with trying to score. Today, it was officially announced that he would be loaned to Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion.
Here’s the Tweet from United’s official account.
Good luck to James Wilson, who has joined Brighton and Hove Albion on loan until the end of the season. #mufc pic.twitter.com/kdlljC29oY

In September, James Wilson signed a four year contract extension with an option for a fifth.
His future with the club was in doubt as we heard and saw multiple reports indicating that he would be loaned out to a Championship side. The Wolverhampton Wanderers were the team most strongly linked with a move for Wilson, but Brighton it is.”
With Marouane Fellaini, Anthony Martial, Wayne Rooney and Memphis Depay as the club’s main attacking options, Wilson hasn’t made it on to the pitch very much. He’s started one League Cup game, and made just one Premier League appearance this season.
