Manchester United youngster James Scanlon is set to join Swindon Town on loan for the rest of the season.

Scanlon has been one of the standout players in United's under-21 side this season.

A full international with Gibraltar, Scanlon scored a hat-trick in a Premier League International Cup victory over Sporting last month.

The 19-year-old has been the subject of huge interest from across Europe, but United are keen for Scanlon to get some experience in the English Football League.

Swindon are pushing for promotion out of League Two and Scanlon believes their style of play under Ian Holloway will suit him.
