Manchester United winger Chris Eagles has joined Burnley on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee believed to be in excess of £1million.Eagles, 22, joined the Premier League champions at the age of 14 but has failed to establish himself as a regular part of Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team plans.
And despite being prominent in United's pre-season campaign, scoring against Kaizer Chiefs and Portsmouth on their tour of Africa, Eagles has finally called time on his Old Trafford career.
The Red Devils academy graduate, who enjoyed previous loan spells at Watford, Sheffield Wednesday and Dutch outfit NEC Nijmegen, becomes Burnley's sixth summer signing.

I THINK IT RATHER UNFAIR OF SIR ALEX. HE SHOULD HAV GIVEN HIM A CHANCE. THE GUYS IS DAMN GOOD, BETTER THAN JOHN OSEA AND SOME OTHER GUYS.
Probably what was best for him. He was never going to break into the first team.
