Pugh is Blackwell's first signing

New Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell today completed his first signing with the capture of utility player Danny Pugh from Manchester United.

The left-sided player, who made just seven first-team appearances during his two years at Old Trafford, has signed a two-year contract with Leeds. He crosses the Pennines only 24 hours after Alan Smith completed his £7m (€10.5m) move in the opposite direction.
