# Rangers: Gers sign Charlie McCann

**Glasgow Rangers have confirmed the signing of former Manchester United youngster Charlie McCann ([rangers.co.uk](https://www.rangers.co.uk/Article/rangers-sign-charlie-mccann/3HZY7XmzAoOuXpCVAK5eBX)).**

### **The Lowdown: Gers’ preparations building up**

The Gers have enjoyed a mainly successful pre-season campaign. They beat Partick Thistle 1-0 before losing to Tranmere by the same scoreline, and they then drew with Arsenal 2-2. That was followed by a 0-0 draw versus Brighton and a very impressive 2-1 victory over Real Madrid.

New signing Fashion Sakala scored in that win ([rangers.co.uk](https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/rangers-delighted-to-announce-signing-of-fashion-sakala/6XPJ0m6Q1wrmAF0hPIBBcW)), and [John Lundstram](https://www.rangers.co.uk/Article/rangers-confirm-signing-of-john-lundstram/7dpM4YOEHHYiXie7rngwpF) has also made the move to Glasgow. Steven Gerrard is likely to want to add other fresh faces as well judging by these latest developments.

### **The Latest: Gers close to McCann**

Now, the Gers have added a new player to their squad – they have announced the signing of McCann from United.

[As per the Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-news-mccann-21172089?_ga=2.227580312.463822324.1627552896-1243989952.1595965142), the Ibrox outfit will part with £750,000 to capture his services. He will initially play with Rangers’ B side.

### **The Verdict: Big money**

This is surprisingly big money for a player that, initially, will only be in Rangers’ development side. The Gers are yet to spend a single penny in transfer fees, with both Sakala and Lundstram joining on free transfers, so Steven Gerrard and Ross Wilson clearly think a lot of the 19-year-old.

In 67 youth games for United, he has managed 17 goals and seven assists ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charlie-mccann/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/573133)). Clearly, he is player with plenty of talent – it remains to be seen whether he can eventually have an impact with the 55-time Scottish champions in a first-team capacity.
