Man Utd duo Overy and Jackson set to leave
- Published
Manchester United youngsters James Overy and Louis Jackson are on the brink of leaving the club.
Overy is close to returning to Australia with A League outfit Sydney FC, while Jackson is in talks with Scottish Premiership side St Mirren.
Eighteen-year-old Overy was born in Perth, played for Australia at last season's Under-20 World Cup and received his first senior international call-up in November.
He joined United in 2024 and featured at Under-21 level last term. He was also part of the FA Youth Cup final squad beaten by Manchester City in May.
However, Overy was a notable absentee when United opened their Premier League 2 campaign with a 5-0 victory against Ipswich at Leigh on 24 August.
Jackson will have a medical with St Mirren on Thursday before completing his move.
The 20-year-old Oldham-born defender is a Scottish youth international and was part of United's 2022 FA Youth Cup-winning side.
He spent part of last season on loan with National League side Solihull Moors.
It is understood both deals will include sell-on and buy-back clauses.
