Mather scraps Man Utd move plan

Manchester United youngster Sam Mather will be integrated back into the club's Premier League 2 squad after his proposed move to the UAE could not be completed.

Mather was the subject of numerous discussions over the past few weeks, with advanced discussions taking place with clubs from Portugal and Turkey among others.

Al Wahda were keen to take the 21-year-old but no agreement could be reached over a potential sell-on clause.

Mather spent last week training with Ruben Amorim's senior squad, although he was not involved in Saturday's defeat at Brentford.

He has made two appearances for Travis Binnion's under-21 side this season and it is expected he will now be involved on a more regular basis until the transfer window opens again in January.
