Will Fish Manchester United to Hibs move agreed

Will Fish is set to return to Hibernian for a second spell at the club. 

The defender spent the second half of last season on loan at Easter Road from Manchester United.

And it seems that the 20-year-old will return to Edinburgh for a second time, spending the campaign ahead on loan with Lee Johnson's men.

Manchester Evening News states that United have made the decision to offload the centre-half to the Hibees for the new season.

Fish was a popular figure during his time spent in Leith, quickly becoming a fans' favourite. 

It's claimed that several teams in the Championship and League One in England were chasing Fish's signature, as well as other clubs in Scotland, with Aberdeen believed to be among them. 

So, Fish returning to Hibs is a big boost for the club as they aim to strengthen their backline going into the new term.

Fish will play for United in a pre-season friendly against Leeds United in Oslo before travelling north to link up with Hibs.

It will then be full steam ahead to the club's Conference League qualifiers in the coming weeks.
