Scottish Premiership side Hamilton Academical F.C. have announced the signing of Manchester United midfielder Charlie Scott, subject to international clearance.

The 20-year-old has inked a loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer at the end of the 2017-2018 campaign.

Manager Martin Canning said: ''I am pleased to welcome Charlie to the club and believe he’ll be a great addition to our squad.''

This season, Scott has appeared in six matches for United's U23 team in the Premier League 2, logging 463 minutes.

He trained with Sheffield United earlier this month but a transfer did not materialize.
