Manchester United defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has joined Wolves on a season-long loan, the Premier League club confirmed on Twitter.
The 19-year-old, who came through the youth ranks at Old Trafford, made his United debut last November and played in 14 first-team games under previous manager Louis van Gaal.
Earlier this summer he signed a new contract at United but he is not part of new manager Jose Mourinho's first-team plans.
Wolves have also signed Dutch winger Ola John on loan from Benfica.
United defender Blackett joins Reading
Manchester United defender Tyler Blackett joined Championship club Reading on Monday, signing a three-year contract.
The 22-year-old England under-21 spent last season on loan at Celtic, where he won a Scottish League winner's medal.
Reading manager Jaap Stam, formerly a defender with United, said Blackett's versatility was a key factor in the move.
"He can play as a left-back or a left-sided centre-back; he has got great potential in the sense that he is quick and athletic, defensively he is strong and he is good at set pieces," Stam told Reading's website (www.readingfc.co.uk).
"As a defender he can go and play high up the pitch as well, and that is what we need in the squad."
West Ham defender Burke signs new four-year contract
West Ham defender Reece Burke signed a new four-year contract on Monday, tying him to the Premier League club until 2020.
The 19-year-old centre back spent last season on loan at BradfordCity but is hoping to play in Thursday's Europa League play-off round, second-leg match against Romania's FC Astra, having played in the away leg earlier this month.
"I'm hoping to be involved and if Slaven (Bilic, the manager) asks me to do a job anywhere on the pitch I'll definitely be up for it," Burke told West Ham's website (www.whufc.com).
"The club has a few centre-halves this season so there's a lot of competition there. If he asks me, I'm just going to say 'Yes'."
