UNITED have allowed young striker Febian Brandy to return to Championship club Swansea for a second loan period.

The 19-year-old has agreed a new six-month deal at Liberty Stadium after impressing in a shorter stay at the end of last season.

Manager Roberto Martinez expects the England Under-19 international to add competition to his squad as Swansea prepare for their forthcoming Championship campaign.

"We are delighted to have him back," said Martinez, who was mooted as a possible replacement for Carlos Queiroz as Sir Alex Ferguson's replacement.

"His attitude last season was excellent and we enjoyed watching and working with a player of Premier League potential.

"He always made it clear that he wanted to come back and join our Championship campaign and we are looking forward to seeing him perform at the next level.

"He's got balance, strength, sharpness and a great eye for goal."
