Manchester United winger set for Blues move
Lee Martin is expected to join Birmingham City Football Club this week.
The winger has failed to establish himself in the Manchester United first team setup, although he has impressed during their preparations for the coming season.
Despite this Sir Alex Ferguson is willing to let the 21-year-old, who impressed at Sheffield United last season, leave Old Trafford to gain regular first team football.
The Blades would like to take Martin back on a permanent basis this summer, but it is believed that Alex McLeish will win the race and take him to Birmingham City for £1.5million.
He looks an average player (in our position) and hasn't really impressed me that much when he's played. He did score a good goal against the Orlando Pirates, but apart from that hasn't done enough for me.
Also, hes well down the pecking order, just like Eagles was.
