Rangers manager confirms deal for Manchester United kid is ‘close’ as he sets expectations

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has confirmed a move for Manchester United talent Charlie McCann is “close” but insists that the signing of the talented teen is very much one for the future.

The 19-year-old has reportedly agreed a three-year deal with the Light Blues as the two sides thrash out a compensation package for the Irish youth international.

McCann joined United three years ago from Coventry City and was a standout in the Premier League’s U23s last season despite being considerably younger than many players he shared a pitch with.

Gerrard spoke highly of the Old Trafford youngster but wouldn’t be drawn on when a deal to bring him to Rangers would be completed.
