Former United midfielder on trial

Crewe Alexandra have invited the former Manchester United midfielder Luke Giverin on trial. The Salford-born Giverin was released by United this summer after spending a period out on loan with Belgium club Royal Antwerp.

Giverin who was a regular for the club's Academy side and reserve side, has also played as a full-back for the Red Devils. He has previously captained Manchester United's reserve side and is a left footed player.

Giverin could be involved for the club's trip to Celtic this weekend for a practice match behind closed doors.
