City agree loan deal for Man Utd midfielder
The 20 year old is set for a seasons long loan with the Bluebirds.
A statement on the official website confirms agreement with Utd but not final completion of the deal which could be subject to City sorting out the thorn of the tax issue.
Drinkwater spent last season on loan at Huddersfield Town. He has been capped for Ebgland at U18 and U19 level and has made the bench as an unused sub in a Premier League game at Old Trafford.
The youngster trained with City today as the players went through their paces ahead of the pre season friendly at Bath on Thursday evening.
