Hull City have confirmed the arrival of midfielder James Weir from Manchester United.

Weir, who was the skipper of Man United's Under-21 team, made his first-team debut for the Red Devils last season, but it is understood that he was considered surplus to requirements by Jose Mourinho following the Portuguese's arrival this summer.

The 21-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the Tigers after joining for an undisclosed fee.

Former Man United assistant Mike Phelan is currently in interim charge of Hull.
