Man United defender Axel Tuanzebe has returned to fitness and he’s completed a late deadline day move to Stoke City.
Axel Tuanzebe has left on loan.
Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe has joined Stoke City on loan until the end of the season.
Tuanzebe, 25, only returned to first-team training this month after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with injury and he has completed a move to Championship club Stoke late on deadline day in search of regular minutes.
Sources have indicated the club considers the move a good opportunity for the player after returning from his lay-off.
Stoke, who are currently struggling in the second tier, have no option or obligation to make the loan deal permanent.
The loan will be Tuanzebe’s fifth away from the club and it could mean the end of his time at Old Trafford. The centre-back’s contract at United expires in the summer and it’s unlikely the option to extend his deal by another year will be triggered.
Tuanzebe most recently played for Napoli on loan but he made just two appearances for the club, playing 130 minutes.
The defender has made 37 appearances for United’s first team.
