Released Manchester United defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is in advanced talks with Oldham Athletic.

The 23-year old is a free agent after leaving United last month. He had a spell on loan at Boundary Park prior to lockdown and will return on a one year contract, reports the Daily Mail.

Borthwick-Jackson also had interest from MLS clubs but is looking to get a full season under his belt in League Two before taking stock of any other options.

The left-back spent 17 years at Old Trafford, having signed as a six-year-old in 2003, and made his first-team debut under then-manager Louis van Gaal on November 7, 2015.

He was released on Tuesday after just 10 league appearances in a series of unsuccessful loan spells at Wolves, Leeds, Scunthorpe, Tranmere and Oldham over the last four seasons.
