Manchester United midfielder Callum Whelan has joined Port Vale on-loan.

Port Vale have agreed loan deals for West Brom defender Kyle Howkins and Whelan until the end of the season.

Howkins, 22, makes the move to Vale Park for the second January deadline day in as many years.

Whelan, 20, has been at United since the age of six and will be starting his first loan at an EFL club.

The pair are Vale's first signings since the departure of manager Neil Aspin on Wednesday.
