As he progressed he should have gone to Royal Antwerp on loan but a serious injury put an end to that, but last season he joined Crewe in a loan deal but played only one game for them at Nottingham Forest.
His only first team action with United came at Crewe in 2006/07 when he played the first 77 minutes of a League Cup tie which United won 2-1 after extra time.
It is the second time in recent weeks that we have been linked with him, but we can't make a move for any player now, permanent or loan, until the beginning of 2009.
