Swansea City have signed Manchester United youngster Tyler Reid for an undisclosed fee.
The 18-year-old defender has signed a three-year deal at the Liberty Stadium and is expected to join their developmental squad ahead of their pre-season tour to Scotland later this month.
He told Swansea’s official website that he was excited to join the club:
I am really looking forward to a fresh challenge and getting started. I see a good opportunity to play first team football with the Development squad here.
I see myself as a quick, strong and powerful player who likes to get forward. I hope I can offer something both in attack and defence.
Swansea play good attractive football and I think that suits my style of play.
Having grown-up in London and living in Manchester for the last four years, Swansea will be a fresh challenge for me. It is one I am looking forward to, I can’t wait to get started.
I want to make my mark, secure a starting place for the Development squad and help make an impact this season.
Reid was a regular in United’s Under-18 side last season and made four appearances as the Reds participated in the UEFA Youth League.
The defender also scored a crucial goal for the Under-21s early in the season against Sunderland, but only managed to make one start for Warren Joyce’s side as they went on to defend their Under-21 Premier League title.
