Defender Richard Eckersley stunned Manchester United yesterday by rejecting a new deal - and Premier League new boys Burnley are now set to sign him. Right-back Eckersley came through the ranks and was on the brink of a breakthrough at Old Trafford, but wants regular first-team football in the top flight.
The Salford-born 20-year-old will talk with Owen Coyle's Burnley after rejecting a move to QPR.
Burnley's first home game of the season is against United.
Coyle has agreed a £600,000 deal with Hamilton for defender Brian Easton.
