Manchester United Under-21s skipper Jacob Devaney is set for a loan move to Scottish Premiership side St Mirren.
Devaney, 18, has been a key figure in United's under-21 set-up this season, featuring in every game, initially under Travis Binnion and then Tom Curtis following a coaching reshuffle at senior level.
He has excelled in central defence, at right-back and in central midfield as United have spent most of the season at the top of the Premier League 2 table.
However, he is yet to break into the first-team squad and is now set to get his chance in Scotland's top flight with St Mirren, who have not won in the league since 20 December.
