Barnes has joined Chester until season's end.

Teenage Manchester United winger Michael Barnes has joined League Two outfit Chesterfield on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has been a regular in the United reserve team and joins the Spireites to get some first-team experience.

Chesterfield have been tracking Barnes for some time and he replaces Felix Bastians in the squad after the German returned to Nottingham Forest following the end of his loan spell.

Welcoming Barnes' move, Chesterfield boss Lee Richardson said: "Michael is an exciting prospect and we are delighted that Sir Alex Ferguson has allowed him to join us on loan as we have had an eye on him for some time."

Chorley-born Barnes joined United's Youth Academy in January 2006 after being spotted playing for Lancaster City and made his full debut for the Reds in the Carling Cup that year.

some good loan deals there by man united. Quite a lot of player out on loan now which is promising.

i saw highlights of evans game for sunderland and although richardson stole the show, evans was really solid at the back. Sunderland defenders are utter shite especially that ginger one so evans will really be pushed to his limits there and it will be a great experience.

The 24-year-old Angolan star is currently playing for his country at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana.

He signed a three-year contract with United earlier this month after moving from Angolan side Petro Athletico.

"After the ACN I will return to Luanda and then head to Athens," Manucho told Angolan television.

"I am looking forward to playing in Greece before hopefully being a success at Old Trafford."

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson explained: "We have farmed him out to Panathinaikos for the rest of the season as he will get games there.

"They have a Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro and as Manucho speaks Portuguese, it is comfortable for him. Then we will apply for a work permit in the summer."

another one on loan now. He is doing pretty well in the ACN and i would have thought it would have been enough for him to be able to appeal but it seems that we cba to appeal now and will most probably have loaned him out anyway.

good luck to him
