Ngalula given free transfer at Man Utd

Manchester United have granted a free transfer to Floribert Ngalula, a 20-year-old Belgian midfielder once viewed as “the new Patrick Vieira”.

Ngalula had been on the books at Anderlecht before moving to United but his hopes he would break into the first team had a major blow when he suffered a serious hip injury at the start of the 2005/06 season.
