Manchester United teenager Jacob Devaney is returning to the Scottish Premiership after agreeing to a loan with Hibernian, with an option for a permanent move. The 19-year-old midfielder, who captained United's Premier League 2 side, previously played 18 matches for St Mirren, scoring once and providing an assist while playing as a deep-lying playmaker. He also featured in United's pre-season matches against Wrexham and Rosenborg, scoring in the latter.

Hibs head coach David Gray praised the signing, stating Devaney is a technically talented young international keen to learn and develop. Gray emphasized the positive timing of the transfer before the window's end and confirmed plans to settle him in quickly.

The loan deal represents a significant opportunity for Devaney to gain top-level experience in Scotland while Hibs aims to strengthen their squad ahead of the season.
