Promising Red Devils defender James Chester will be joining Posh club Peterborough on a short-term loan deal.Peterborough United have shored up their defence by bringing in hotly-rated Manchester United youngster James Chester, 20, on a short-term loan deal, confirmed by the BBC as one month.
Chester has enjoyed a burgeoning reputation at the reigning world champions as he was made captain of the reserve side while still a teenager.
The central defender bears startling similarities to Jonny Evans, who has recently been promoted to the first-team and has proved a strong partner for Nemanja Vidic.
Like Evans, Chester is an academy graduate with a strong reputation. He is strong in the challenge, a consistent performer, and is to continue his footballing education away from the club, with Sir Alex Ferguson hoping he will return in March with first-team experiences under his belt.
There are family ties between Manchester United and Peterborough United, as the League One side are managed by Sir Alex Ferguson's son, Darren, 36.
The deal follows Ferguson Jnr's admission that 23-year-old Welsh international Craig Morgan has suffered a suspected and expected broken toe in the Huddersfield tie.
Chester therefore is likely to step in for Morgan, and also Chris Westwood, who is himself spending a loan spell away from Peterborough, at Cheltenham Town.
