QPR are set to land the signature of Manchester United's young midfielder Sean Goss, ESPN report.
What's the word?
21-year-old Sean Goss has spent the past five years at Manchester United, leaving Exeter City in 2012, but he's set to leave without ever making a first-team appearance at Old Trafford- as QPR edge towards a deal for him.
Impressing with the reserves this season, Goss has been unable to make an impact in the first-team squad but has still attracted attention- and QPR could now be set to hand him his big break, with the struggling Championship side desperately needing a boost.
Costing an initial outlay of £500k, Goss will link-up with another former United midfielder in Ravel Morrison; who is currently training with the West London side.
Is he a big loss?
Not at all. The likelihood of Goss making an impact at Old Trafford is slim, due to the wealth of depth available to Jose Mourinho in the first-team and there being other top-class youngsters in the side. On top of that, Mourinho isn't known for handing opportunities to youngsters anyway.
At 21, it's the right time to leave and he's made a good account of himself. QPR, with first-team football, can give him the platform to make an impression and build a successful career. However, the danger is that the West London side aren't a club that's run well these days.
