MANCHESTER UNITED have signed former Arsenal and Fulham midfielder DJ Buffonge.
 
The 17-year-old, full name Darren Raekwon McIntosh-Buffonge, went on trial with United at the start of the season.
And he has since signed a scholarship contract with the Red Devils, putting pen to paper on a deal last week.
 
A club statement reads: "DJ Buffonge has signed as a scholar for Manchester United following a successful trial.
"The former Fulham prospect started the season in the Under-18 team and set up Zak Dearnley's goal in the opening fixture at West Brom.

"However, a groin injury sustained in a 3-2 win over Derby County in late August cut short his progress.
"Despite the setback, United's coaches had seen enough to complete a deal on 13 November for the creative midfielder."
Buffonge is described as an energetic midfielder who played for Arsenal’s academy until 2010 before making a move to Fulham.
