Bellion joins Man Utd
Bellion's fee will be set by a tribunal
Manchester United have signed Sunderland's young French winger David Bellion.
Bellion rejected a new deal at the Stadium of Light and signed for the Premiership champions on Wednesday, BBC Radio Newcastle has revealed.
United were linked with a move for the 20-year-old throughout last season, before Sir Alex Ferguson described the deal as "dead" after having a £1.5m approach rejected in January.
Sunderland wanted nearer £3m for the French Under-21 international, who made an impression in the Premiership because of his pace.
The Black Cats will be entitled to compensation under the Bosman ruling, as the player is under 23.
But length of service is paramount in the tribunal and his two-year stay at Sunderland may not be long enough to demand a significant fee.

I think he is one of the best strikers in the world, and i've seen him play for about 15 minutes.
Don't want to be a killjoy, but some sites claim that his agents are saying these reports are premature. Eg

He's shit anyway...
I dont know what all the fuss is about. He's only a kid, and as such will only be on the periphery of the squad. His signing is an investment in future potential, nothing more I feel. If he has indeed signed for us, don't expect to see him playing in the first game of the coming season.

FROM MANUTD.COM:
Contrary to stories appearing on other websites, Sunderland striker David Bellion has not signed for Manchester United.
BBC Radio Newcastle were reported as having announced his arrival at Old Trafford, but as his contract with the Black Cats does not expire until 30 June he cannot sign with another club until then.
No forms have been signed at Old Trafford, nor have any terms been agreed with David Bellion.
"David is out of contract on June 30 and until that time he will not be speaking to anyone," confirmed Bellion's advisor Mike Morris.
"I don't think it is any secret United like him but nothing has been signed."

Rather than who he has brought us, look into who he is working with in the world of football agents
