Dundee United Excited by Matai Akinmboni Arrival
Dundee United boss Steven Pressley is excited by the arrival of Matai Akinmboni, a 19-year-old defender on trial from Bournemouth. Pressley will assess Akinmboni before deciding on a possible loan move.
The Dark Blues are desperate to add defensive cover after letting Aaron Donnelly go out on-loan to Dunfermline Athletic. Pressley currently only has Owen Bevan and Ryan Astley as his two fit central defenders.
What's Next for Dundee United?
Pressley will take a look at Akinmboni over the next few days before making a decision on a possible loan move. The 19-year-old defender has been training with the Dark Blues and has impressed Pressley so far.
Dundee United's Current Form
Dundee United are currently 9th in the Premiership table, with 33 points from 33 games. They have scored 34 goals and conceded 53, leaving them with a -19 goal difference. They are 37 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian.
Injury Concerns
Dundee United are sweating over Ash Hay's knee injury, although Joe Westley's knock isn't expected to be too serious. Hay is the major concern ahead of their return against Aberdeen in the Premier Sports Cup this weekend.
Max Anderson Returns to Dundee United
Former Dundee United midfielder Max Anderson is back training with the Dark Blues. Anderson had initially been given training facilities with the under-19s after his release from Crawley Town.
Current Squad
Dundee United's current squad includes Dario Naamo and Miller Thomson, who are currently sidelined.
