Manchester United striker Ethan Wheatley has agreed to join Lincoln City after the Imps moved ahead of several rival clubs.
The forward is now set to leave Old Trafford in search of the next step in his senior career.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke revealed the development via X, reporting that Lincoln have won the battle for Wheatley’s signature. A number of teams had been pursuing the Manchester United academy product, but the Sincil Bank club secured his agreement.
The deal represents an eye-catching addition for Lincoln as they strengthen their attacking options. Wheatley offers mobility, penalty-area presence and valuable experience gained within United’s elite youth system.
For Manchester United, the move should provide the striker with a clearer pathway to regular senior minutes. Final formalities are now expected before the transfer is officially announced.
Lincoln’s success in beating several competitors could prove significant, with Wheatley arriving as a player carrying considerable potential and something to prove.
