Wootton to Tranmere:
Tranmere Rovers have today completed the loan signing of defender Scott Wootton from Manchester United.
Wootton, 19, joins Rovers on a month long emergency loan. The Birkenhead-born centre back was in Tranmere's Centre of Excellence until the age of 13 before being sold to Liverpool. He signed for United three years ago and captained their under-18 team last season. He has been a regular in United's reserve team this season.
Manager Les Parry said: "I'm pleased to be able to bring Scott to the Club.
"He's a highly rated young defender and with Marlon Broomes and Ash Taylor injured and Jermaine Grandison picking up an injury just before the end of his loan spell it was important we brought a player of his quality into the Club.
"I'd like to thank Manchester United for allowing him to come to us for a month."
Scott will be available for Tranmere's home game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, 2 October, kick off 3pm.
