Reading have signed Tyler Blackett on a permanent deal from Manchester United, a number of other clubs were interested in Blackett including fellow Championship club Cardiff City.

The 22-year-old defender has signed a three-year deal at the Madejski.

“Tyler is a talented defender who has played for United’s first team,” Reading boss Jaap Stam told the club website. “He can play as a left-back or a left-sided centre-back; he has got great potential in the sense that he is quick and athletic, defensively he is strong and he is good at set-pieces.

“As a defender he can go and play high up the pitch as well, and that is what we need in the squad.”
