Fulham FC furnish Dundee United with another promising youngster

Dundee United have signed a second Fulham youngster on loan until January.

Right-winger Keanu Marsh-Brown will join Craven Cottage team-mate Lauri Dalla Valle, who made the temporary move to Tannadice last week.

As with Dalla Valle, United boss Peter Houston has the option to extend the deal if he impresses.

Nineteen-year-old Marsh-Brown is highly rated by the Premiership side and is being sent to the SPL to gain first-team experience, after spending the second half of last season on loan to MK Dons.

Fulham reserve coach Billy McKinlay has again stepped in to help his former club and Marsh-Brown could make his debut against Rangers in the Tangerines’ next match.

Houston said: “We are delighted to get Keanu signed up and he’s someone I think will excite the fans.

“Again we are grateful to Fulham for allowing him to join us and he will add more options to the midfield.

“Keanu is a player who likes to run at people and can play in defence if need be.”

Meanwhile there was speculation linking Celtic with left-back Paul Dixon but United have had no contact from the Parkhead club.
