The Manchester United defender and Benfica winger have agreed season-long loan switches to Molineux.
Manchester United’s Cameron Borthwick-Jackson
Wolverhampton Wanderers secured two high-profile loan signings on Monday as they continue to put together a squad supporters hope will challenge for promotion from the Championship, with Cameron Borthwick-Jackson arriving from Manchester United and Ola John joining from Benfica, with Wolves fans taking to Twitter to respond to news of the deals.
The two youngsters have made the move from European giants, with Borthwick-Jackson impressing during Louis van Gaal’s final season at Old Trafford as he made 14 appearances for the senior side, making his debut last November.
The 19-year-old fullback, who won the club’s young player of the year award, signed a new contract at United in May, in recognition of his promise, keeping him with the Red Devils until 2020, and he will now hope to get a season of first team football under his belt at Molineux.
Ola John and Rotherham’s Greg Halford in action
24-year-old winger Ola John has moved from the Portuguese giants, and has taken in a second season in the Championship on loan after featuring for Reading last year where he made 28 league appearances and scored four goals.
The two players go into Walter Zenga’s squad for the League Cup match against Cambridge United later in the week.
