Blackpool transfer breakthrough as Man Utd accept Cathcart offer

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has struck a breakthrough in the summer market.

The Daily Mail says Manchester United defender Craig Cathcart is joining Premier League newcomers Blackpool in a £500,000 deal.

Pool boss Ian Holloway failed with a £350,000 offer for Cathcart, 21, last week but has had an improved bid accepted.

Northern Ireland international Cathcart has been with United since he was 14 but failed to notch a single first-team appearance and has been loaned out to Watford and Plymouth.
