Salford City have completed the signing of former Manchester United striker James Wilson from Aberdeen.
The ex-England Under-21 international, aged 24, has signed an 18-month contract with the League Two side, who are part-owned by United’s Class of ’92.
It was one of Salford’s owners, Ryan Giggs, who gave Wilson his first-team debut for United in 2014. Wilson scored two goals in a 4-1 win over Hull City.
After clocking up 20 senior appearances for the Red Devils, Wilson was sent on a succession of loan spells to Brighton & Hove Albion, Derby County, Sheffield United and Aberdeen, who he joined on a permanent deal.
He leaves the Dons six months into a two-year contract having failed to score in 16 appearances so far this season.
