Milton Keynes Dons recently announced the signing of defender Regan Poole from Manchester United, as reported by the club’s official website.
The Wales under-21 international became the Dons’ fifth summer signing and his arrival was met with delight by supporters on Twitter.

Admissions that the League One club had made a shrewd signing were also rife on the platform:

Poole began his professional career with Newport County, before being snapped up by Premier League giants Manchester United in 2015. He found first-team opportunites limited at Old Trafford and enjoyed loan spells with Northampton Town and former club Newport, where he featured far more frequently on the pitch than he did whilst with his parent club.
