Strong rumours are flying around that Sir Alex Ferguson is set to send another of his young protégés to Oakwell on loan.

Following on from John Curtis, Daniel Nardiello and last week Adam Eckersley, it is believed a midfielder from the young United ranks could be coming this week.

Early favourite is Ritchie Jones who spent time at Colchester United with Chris Eagles a rank outsider.

Meanwhile star midfielder Brian Howard has dismissed speculation linking him with a move away this month.

Howard, who was one of very few bright points of the weekends defeat against Preston sees his contract run out in the summer and has been linked with Sunderland. Howard though wants to stay and sign a new contract.

Also, most probably on his way out of Oakwell is striker Tommy Wright. The Reds have agreed a fee with Rotherham United for the 23-year-old to move to Millmoor. Tommy hit the the net only twice in FORTY appearances for the club.
