Bardsley Leaves Rangers


Recommended Posts

Full-back Phil Bardsley has cut short his loan spell at Rangers and is set for a brief return to Manchester United.

 

The 21-year-old, who has made 17 first-team appearances for United, was originally loaned to Rangers at the start of the season.

 

Bardsley was due to stay until the end of December, with the possibility of extending that deal incorporated in the original terms of the deal, but he is now poised to join Sunderland.

 

Despite impressing during his first few weeks with Rangers, the 21-year-old fell out with coach Paul Le Guen at the club's training ground in October.

 

There was little prospect of him playing any part in Rangers' Bank of Scotland Premier League match against St Mirren on Saturday, prompting the move to end his stay with the Glasgow giants three days early.

 

Bardsley made seven appearances for the Ibrox side, scoring once and receiving a red card in September's defeat at Hibernian.

 

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson last week confirmed that United had agreed to send Bardsley to Coca-Cola Championship side Sunderland, with Old Trafford colleague Johnny Evans another possible Roy Keane recruit at the Stadium of Light.

 

 

He seemed like a good prospect in the begining but it just seemed to cave in after his bust-up with le Guen.

Didn't realise he'd made so few appearances. As the season has gone on, I don't think we've missed him that much, Hutton has improved a hell of a lot this year and I don't think our full back positions are much of a problem in the scheme of things. Distribution and the final ball needs to be worked on, but we have much bigger problems to sort out first.

Bardsley is going to Sunderland for the rest of the season.

 

Not really a miss for us. He was ok but nothing spectacular. Hutton still has potential and played well against Celtic recently but id rather see a new signing at RB TBH unless he plays like that every week
