Danny Simpson joins Blackburn on season long loan
August 5, 2008
Paul Ince has only been a Premier League manager for a few weeks but he has already tapped into the pool of United talent as Danny Simpson has agreed to a season long loan a Blackburn.
With Wes Brown having had what was arguably is best season at United last term and the return to fitness of Gary Neville, the highly rated right back will be restricted in his appearances for the Reds this year and Fergie has decided to give the player an opportunity to get some Premier League experience under his belt by loaning him out to Blackburn.
Simpson has already had loan spells at Antwerp, Sunderland and Ipswich as well as making 8 appearances for United, 3 of which in the Champions League. This latest loan spell could be the one which catapults Simpson into the frame for United’s right back position with Neville closing in on retirement and Simpson will be looking to be a prominent force in the Rovers’ defence.
